Chris Farley (left), National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP) caretaker and U.S. Navy veteran, and Francis Alger (right), NMCP caretaker and U.S. Army veteran, replace grave site head stones at the NMCP Jan. 2, 2015, in Honolulu. Seventeen veteran caretakers are responsible for the upkeep of 112.5 acres of land that serves as the resting place for 55,000 individuals interred. They also ensure the preservation of the memorials at the Honolulu Memorial’s Courts of the Missing. The memorials honor 18,096 veterans who served in World War II, 8,200 veterans who served in the Korean War, and 2,504 veterans who served in the Vietnam War. Farley served in the U.S. Navy 1982 to 1985. Alger served in the U.S. Army from 1977 to 1980. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Christopher Hubenthal)
