Explore the solemn beauty and deep-rooted heritage of the United States Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery (SAHNC). Nestled in Washington, D.C., near President Abraham Lincoln's historic cottage, this hallowed ground is one of our nation's oldest national cemeteries. Established in July 1861 during the early days of the Civil War, the cemetery served as a vital final resting place when local military hospitals were overwhelmed. Today, along with Arlington National Cemetery, SAHNC is one of only two national cemeteries proudly maintained by the Department of the Army.
