Views of downtown Portland from the west side of the grounds.
View of Mount Hood from the south end of the grounds.
View of Mount St. Helens from the north end of the grounds.
There is an area near the entrance that you can look up a grave. There are so many men and women buried here that the areas are marked off in sections. And this view is just one of the sections. It's really heartbreaking how many people have lost their lives due to war, but at least this place gives them the respect they truly deserve.

Honoring the men and women (nurses) from Oregon that served in the Korean War.
It's a beautiful area. If you have a bucket list, you might consider adding this one to it.
Out of respect, I did not take pictures of the graves-any that show up in the background was purely accidental.
