Our Story
ADVS broke ground at Arizona Veterans' Memorial Cemetery at Camp Navajo in 2014. The first interment at the cemetery was Navajo CodeTalker Alfred Peaches on May 9, 2016.
AVMC-Camp Navajo was made possible by a grant from the Department of Veterans Affair- State Cemetery Grant Service. The grant covered the construction and equipment needed to create the cemetery.
Eligibility
Burial is open to all members of the Armed Forces, including National Guard and reservists, and Veterans discharged from active duty under Honorable conditions (with certain exceptions).
Their spouses, un-remarried widow or widower, minor children, and under certain conditions, unmarried adult dependent children may also be eligible for burial. Eligible spouses may be buried even if they predecease the Veteran. Also eligible for burial are members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces, National Guard and Reserve Officer Training Corps who die while on active duty for training or performing service, or who have 20 years of service in reserve components of the Armed Forces creditable for retired pay.
