The Riverside National Cemetery is a final resting place for veterans that have served in the armed forces. The staff is helpful, empathetic, and courteous, providing every need. The grounds are well-maintained, and the facilities are clean, with restrooms available on site. Directions are easy to follow, and the cemetery hosts around 30-40 services daily, so punctuality is important. Visitors can experience the peaceful and serene atmosphere, especially when soldiers provide a gun salute at the service. The cemetery is full of history and heroism, with the Medal of Honor Memorial featuring the names of every Medal of Honor recipient etched into marble walls. During Veterans Day, the flags placed on all grave sites create a breathtaking sight, filling visitors with pride. Aircraft fly over from nearby March Air Force Base, adding to the pageantry. The large grounds are organized with six staging areas for services, and helpful guards at the entrance guide visitors. On weekends, offices are closed, but a kiosk near the entrance can direct visitors to the gravesite sections, which may require patience due to the size of the cemetery. To find specific graves, it is recommended to download a map from the official website beforehand. The cemetery is a place everyone should visit to experience its history and tranquility.
