They served us well.



Sitka's National Cemetery, one of the earliest west of the Mississippi, is located at the old city limits. It's occupants include the first governor of Alaska, John Brady, Charlie Paddock, once known as the "world's fastest human" and Archie Van Winkle, Alaska's only native-born Congressional Medal of Honor recipient.
