Enjoy it while visiting Sarasota in Florida
Sarasota National Cemetery, spanning 295 acres, honors the city’s military history as a flight training post and provides a solemn resting place for numerous fallen veterans. Since its establishment in 2009, the cemetery has welcomed visitors who wish to pay their respects or attend funeral services for departed servicemen.
This burial site may not be as famous as Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., but it never fails to impress visitors with its beautiful grounds and knowledgeable staff. Moreover, this cemetery is conveniently located near other popular attractions such as Myakka River State Park and the Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary, both of which are less than 10 miles away. To fully enjoy your visit, it is recommended by reviewers to take part in one of the complimentary guided tours of the on-site amphitheater called Patriot Plaza. The amphitheater showcases artwork that pays tribute to veterans. These tours last for an hour and are scheduled every Tuesday at 10 a.m.
