  • the number of veterans involved
  • the available information.

    Future Efforts
    An effort will be undertaken to verify the military service of the veterans currently regarded as "to be verified" and add them to the appropriate roster.

    Applications will be made to the US Department of Veterans' Affairs for military headstone for those veterans whose graves are currently unmarked. Twenty-five [ 25 ] applications are currently in work.

    An searchable online database will be developed.

    Permission will be sought from the Boulder Genealogical Society to include available:
  • Place of Birth
  • Date of Birth
  • Place of Death
  • Date of Death
    to facilitate use of this data for genealogical investigations.

    A digital image(s) of the headstone of any of the Columbia Cemetery Veterans can be provided on request to this website.
