Great Lakes National Cemetery
Great Lakes National Cemetery, National military cemetery in Holly Township, Michigan, United States
Great Lakes National Cemetery extends across 544 acres of land in Oakland County, providing burial spaces for veterans and their eligible family members.
The land belonged to Spanish-American War veteran and industrialist Bryson Dexter Horton, who invented the Square D switch and built a house there in 1927.
The cemetery maintains sections dedicated to different military service branches, reflecting the diverse contributions of United States armed forces members.
The cemetery administration operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, while the grounds remain open for visitors from sunrise to sunset.
Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Jefferson, a Tuskegee Airman who survived being shot down during World War II, rests among the 55,000 interments at this cemetery.
