Today, there are over 2300 VETERANS GRAVES in Locustwood Cemetery - some of which are located in a dedicated American Legion Section and also in a dedicated Jewish Veterans Section.

There are numerous veterans in this cemetery that paid the ultimate sacrifice during the wars. Some of them are highlighted in our video presentation, which we encourage everyone to watch. May we be eternally grateful for their sacrfices for our freedom.

Since 1935, when Locustwood Cemetery deeded 400 free grave sites to the American Legion and erected a monument, American Legion members have been flagging all the veterans graves – this year marked the 85th YEAR OF FLAGGING for American Legion members!

With over 200 Jewish war veterans buried in Locustwood, Jewish War Veterans Post 126 has been flagging them for years. In 2015, the community joined in the tradition and we are  150+ COMMUNITY STRONG in honoring our deceased veterans at Locustwood Cemetery. ( Camden County & Veterans Affairs, Cherry Hill Township, JFCS, Cherry Hill Fire Department, Girls Scouts, Jr Police Academy and many more!)

Unfortunately due to the Coronavirus we were unable to invite the public to join in. However, American Legion members and the Cherry Hill Police Department flagged the graves. Thank you to all that helped. (for a few words from JFCS and JWV Post 126 regarding this years flagging, click here)

We hope you enjoy our video which captures the meaning of why we flag, the 85 year history, our KIA's and a photo montage from over the years....the TRADITION continues.... (to view photos, click here)
