NCA Mission The National Cemetery Administration honors Veterans and their families with final resting places in national shrines and lasting tributes that commemorate their service and sacrifice to our Nation.

In 1865, during his second inaugural address, President Abraham

Lincoln pledged: “To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.”

In 2023, the VA upholds this pledge through the mission:

“To fulfill President Lincoln’s promise to care for those who have served in our nation’s military and for their families, caregivers, and survivors.”
