The new facility will be completed by the summer
of 2003 and will consist of a permanent administration complex, a public information center, and two committal service shelters. The National Cemetery will serve approximately 166,000 veterans and family members for the next 100 years. The cemetery is located between Elgin and Porter Hill, south on Jake Dunn Road. There are different approaches to the cemetery. From OKC/I-44: take the H.E. Bailey Turnpike to Elgin (Exit 53), go west on US 277 for about 2.6 miles, turn left (south) onto Jake Dunn Road, go about 1.1 miles. Cemetery is on the left. From Lawton: take I-44 north and exit on Exit 46 (last free exit), after passing Dolese's Rock/Stone quarry, turn right on the first road (Glover Road). Go east about 2 miles until you reach the "T" intersection, turn right. Cemetery is on the left. If I have made a mistake in transcribing names and dates, I apologize for it. |
