The Cemetery America Forgot (Clark Veterans Cemetery)

PURPOSE:

To organize a group of individuals who are dedicated and committed to helping transform the Clark Veterans Cemetery from its present neglected status to one properly administered and supported by the U.S. Government. The status of the Clark Veterans Cemetery was overlooked at the time the former U.S. Air Force base at Clark was transferred back to the Philippine Government. Due to language in existing regulations the Clark Veterans Cemetery receives no federal funding and is not maintained to the standards befitting those veterans who sacrificed and served their country. The cemetery is presently administered and cared for by the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2485 through voluntary efforts and donations.
MISSION:

To honor the Veterans, both American and Filipino, who are interred in the Clark Veterans Cemetery, Pampanga, Philippines by achieving national recognition and federal support for the cemetery.
VISION:

To witness the transfer of the forgotten Clark Veterans Cemetery to its proper administration by the National Cemetery Administration, American Battle Monuments Commission or other government agency.
