My parents were in WWII and are buried here. It is a beautiful cemetery with so much sacrifice, bravery and history. I am so happy our heroes are laid to rest in such a beautiful place. Come by and take some time to remember our heroes. Memorial day weekend is a great time.

A very respectful Army cemetery. Located in the San Francisco Presidio near the Golden Gate Bridge. A historic cemetery with many century old graves. Very well maintained and not spooky like many San Francisco parks. In other words, there are no guys hiding in the bushes.

Overlooking the Golden Gate bridge, the cemetery is a peaceful great place. A lot of people visit this place whoever comes for a tour to Golden Gate bridge. The serenity and peace will surely make you stand there for a while and take pictures. And of course, it is very well maintained. The manicured grasses and the trees in between the graves just make the place more beautiful.

It seems strange to review a place like this... The grounds are immaculately kept and the sweeping lines of white head stones receding into the distance backed by dark trees and surrounded by green lawns are magestic as well as sad. They remind us of the futility of war. The thousands of lives lost giving service to their nation. Definitely worth a visit for a moment of quiet reflection.

I always feel weird visiting a cemetery as a tourist. After all, its a way to pay respect. This place is beautiful late in the day. At sunset, youll get a very nice and unusual view on the Golden Gate Bridge (cf pictures).

Even though we are not from the US you could really feel the history hidden in this place. besides that the view on the bay is really nice if you walk up to the top of the cemetery. when we walked back down we encountered an elderly man with his daughter. it was very hard for him to walk up the hill. she asked us for a specific grave number and we kindly pointed her into the right direction. after asking if she needs some help she replied thanks, we are fine.... thats just my dad who, on passing by, remembered that HIS dad is burried here which gave us goosebumps and made this place stay in our memory forever.

My father, Lt (jg) Robert Trask Terry, M.D. is buried here. The cemetery is beautifully sited and beautifully maintained, especially with the recent initiative to re-set every stone with laser-like precision. Thanks to those who keep this place looking as sacred as it should.As for the questions as to why it is national, this is because it is administered and maintained by the federal government as a national cemetery.
