Veterans Cemetery Signs Are Up on Highway 1

On December 17, 2025, the Monterey County Military and Veterans Affairs office reported final success in its long effort to have Caltrans install signs on Highway 1 directing motorists to the California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery (at the Lightfighter Drive exit in Seaside). The office of Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas played a key role in making this happen.

The opening ceremony for California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery (CCCVC) was held on October 11, 2016. It is located at 2900 Parker Flats Road, Seaside, CA 93955. For information, go to these websites: California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery and Central Coast Veterans Cemetery Foundation.
