In observance of the July 4th holiday the Administration office of the NHSVC will be closed and there will be no scheduled interments on Tuesday, July 4, 2017. The Grave Locator, cemetery grounds and public restrooms will be open to the public during the daylight hours.
We took advantage of the dry afternoon yesterday (Friday, 6/2) and took the flags off the graves while they were dry. (The planned event to do that on Thursday didn't happen due to a shower right at 1pm.)
HOWEVER, we still have lots of work and can use help of volunteers to help us go through to check and bundle the flags for storage. So Tuesday, June 6th @ 1pm we willl be working inside the Maintenance Building doing that. Anyone who can come help us, we'd love the help.
Any questions, please call the Cemetery office. 603-796-2026
We apologize for the extra email notification but we were informed that one of the larger local newspapers misquoted the date of our ceremony.
Our Memorial Day ceremony will be held TUESDAY, MAY 30TH at 11:00AM.
A reminder to get here early, bring a chair and a bottle of water. The ceremony will last approximately 1 hour.
At 12:15 there will be a brief ceremony at the Global War on Terrorism monument in our memorial walkway for the 3 names newly engraved.

We will be putting the flags out at the gravesites on Thursday, May 25th at 1:00PM and we are always looking for volunteers to help out.
If you would like to help we recommend you call the office first to make sure the date and time have not changed, 796-2026, and you may report to our maintenance building for 1:00PM.
