Today we're excited to highlight one of our outstanding team members! Devin King
What is your role at Leavenworth National Cemetery?
I’m a Program Analyst with a focus on budgets and contracting.

Are you a Veteran, and if so, what Branch of Service?
I’m not a veteran, but a long-time public servant, with over a dozen years of Federal service.

Why did you choose this job?
I started at the NCA at Camp Butler National Cemetery as a Program Support Assistant, and found the work at this agency to be incredibly rewarding. As I was finishing up my Master’s degree this year, I was looking to expand my role at the NCA, and jumped on this opportunity when it became available.

What is a fun fact about yourself?
I’m an avid reader. According to Goodreads, I’ve read over 550 books since I started logging them. The majority of them were definitely audiobooks rather than physical books, but that’ll be our little secret.

As part of our ongoing commitment to preserving and enhancing Leavenworth National Cemetery, work has begun on the concrete surrounding Columbarium 2.

If you are visiting a loved one in this area, please take care and avoid entering the marked construction zone for your safety.

We know how important these visits are, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as these improvements are completed. We will continue to share updates on the project's progress and let you know when the work is finished.

Thank you for being part of our cemetery community and for helping us honor the Veterans and family members who rest here. We are proud to care for this sacred place on behalf of those who served and the families who remember them.

Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Navy!

On October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress established what would become one of the world’s most formidable naval forces founded a tradition built on honor, courage, and commitment. Today, we proudly recognize the generations of Sailors who have stood the watch, protected our nation, secured the seas, and upheld the values that define the Navy.

From its earliest days of swift sailing vessels to the modern fleet that safeguards freedom around the globe, the Navy’s legacy is written by the brave men and women who answer the call to serve. We honor their dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit.

To all Sailors old and new, and their families: Thank you! Your service continues to inspire us every day.

Hooyah!

We are incredibly grateful for the support of Saluting Branches and the dedicated volunteers who generously gave their time, expertise, and talents to Leavenworth National Cemetery.

A remarkable 70 volunteers, representing dozens of tree service companies, came together to help care for this sacred place of honor and remembrance. Through their hard work, professionalism, and commitment, five trees were safely removed and fifteen others were expertly pruned, helping ensure the cemetery remains a safe, beautiful, and dignified resting place for our nation's heroes.

Thank you, Saluting Branches, and thank you to the tree service companies and volunteers here in Leavenworth and across the nation who make this phenomenal program possible. Your service, generosity, and dedication leave a lasting impact and help us continue to honor those who served our country.
