National Cemetery Open House

Bryon Gleisner, left, manager of the Northwoods National Cemetery in Harshaw, goes over some of the requirements needed for a veteran and his spouse to be buried at the cemetery with Army veteran Dave Jennings of Deerbrook and his wife, Cindy, during an open house on Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. “This is just an opportunity for individuals from the community to come out and learn about the cemetery, learn about the benefits we offer,” Gleisner said. “We’re planning on having this be an annual event. Last year, we did it in September.” Gleisner said the cemetery took its first interment in October of 2020.
