Veteran Tributes

Fairview Tributes

Fairview respectfully presents its Tribute Program to honor and show gratitude to individuals and Family members interred at Fairview.  It is our goal to highlight the lives of those who have made special contributions or sacrifices to help others in making our society and world better.


This collection will initially pay tribute to WWII Veterans and Family members in commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the United States involvement in this conflict.  The stories are part of our local history and are fascinating.  The program is seeking submissions from individuals who are able to highlight the involvement of any friend or family member who participated in WWII.  The tribute program is ongoing.  We will continue to regularly add tributes throughout the year and plan to expand it to other areas of interest for people interred here.


If you have a tribute you would like to submit for consideration, please contact us at:
