The U.S. government will furnish grave markers for veterans of all wars! If the veteran doesn't have a grave marker, or the marker is damaged to the point it can't be read, the veteran qualifies for a new marker. Markers and postage are free. The only expense is placing the marker, and volunteers are quite capable of placing the plaque-style markers. This information is available online at http://www.cem.va.gov/hm_hm.asp
National Tombstone Transcripton Project. A long-term nationwide project has as a goal to transcribe the words on tombstones into a web-accessible resource, helpful to those studying genealogy. Learn more about this nationwide project, and search for NC > Guilford County > Green Hill Cemetery tombstone transcriptions at http://usgwtombstones.org/ Attached is a document that explains the process and what (to our knowledge) has been transcribed in Green Hill so far. If you're interested in this project, contact Ann Stringfield at info@FriendsOfGreenHillCemetery.org.
The National Center for Preservation Technology and Training website includes many wonderful training sessions including topics ranging from monument restoration, cemetery landscape maintenance, and why to NOT use shaving cream on tombstones!
