Atlantic Gardens Veterans Cemetery is in the United States territory of Puerto Rico. The cemetery was dedicated in May 2014, and designed for approximately 23,000 burials.[1] Located in the Montaña ward of Aguadilla, the cemetery is on the Garden of Eden Boulevard.
The cemetery is owned by the Government of Puerto Rico, grant-funded and operated by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which currently manages 155 national cemeteries.[2][3] In 2016, the VA established the "Pre-Need Determination of Eligibility Program" to assist with advanced planning.[4]
