CHCO Designated Gravesite Program
In the late 1980’s the CHCO began its designated gravesite program. This is a list of graves that are of historic nature or those of deceased members. Most of these graves are marked with organization monuments. They are watched over throughout the year by members and every May, for Memorial Day and during December, for the Christmas season these graves are decorated. Many of these sites are located in adopted cemeteries, however they can be located anywhere. From area memorial parks to the state of Florida. Pictured are several CHCO monuments that are designated sites:
