The Opening Dedication Ceremony was held on Monday, September 13, 2010.
The Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Missouri Veterans Cemetery at Fort Leonard Wood was held on November 7, 2008. The 229 acres that comprise the cemetery were donated by the U.S. Army Maneuver Support Center and Fort Leonard Wood. Initial development consists of 25 acres that are estimated to last approximately 25-30 years before further development is needed. In addition to land for burials, the cemetery has an administration building, a maintenance facility, a committal shelter for conducting interment services, and a columbarium wall for cremation interment.
Because of its location on the north western edge of Fort Leonard Wood (with easy access to I-44), this cemetery has a rural Waynesville mailing address:
