Charles Winder (left), National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP) caretaker and U.S. Navy and U.S. Army veteran, moves flowers away from a grave site as Chris Farley (right), NMCP caretaker and U.S. Navy veteran, cuts the grass surrounding it Dec. 18, 2014, 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. Winder served in the U.S. Navy from 1985 to 1989 and the U.S. Army from 2001 to 2007. Farley served in the U.S. Navy from 1982 to 1985. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Christopher Hubenthal)
