RE: Thomas W. Doolin
I'm sorry, cousin. I read your note quickly and remembered wrong.

You want to know who erected it. The US Government erected. His family chose to bury him in a National Cemetery. They gave the VA the inscription. The military information is from the VA. I am ONLY a volunteer with FindAGrave. I have no authority over the grave site, the grave stone, or the information provided. If you have a problem with it, contact his next of kin and take it up with them. Geez.

RE: Thomas W. Doolin gravestone
Hi Emily. Chances are, this isn't your uncle's gravesite. The military info on the stone is provided by the Veteran's Administration and is taken from his military records. So, since your uncle was in Korea and this Thomas Doolin was in Vietnam, then they probably aren't the same people. I checked the VA's records of grave stones that have been issued, and they corroborate the information on this Thomas's stone. There is another Thomas Doolin buried in Arkansas, but he was in WW2. No other Thomas Doolins have been issued military stones. So, either your uncle isn't dead, or when he died, his family did not request a veteran's stone. Good luck in your search.

Deana
