Chattanooga National Cemetery

From Wikipedia.

Charles H. Coolidge, one of the country's remaining two World War II Medal of Honor recipients died recently and was buried at the Chattanooga National Cemetery in Tennessee.  I'd never heard of it and wondered if their were any famous people buried there.

As of 2014, it had over 50,000 internments.

It was established in 1863 by the order of General George Henry Thomas after the Civil ar battles of Chattanooga as a place to bury dead Union soldiers.  It became Chattanooga National Cemetery in 1867 and by 1870, had more than 12,000 internments, most of them unknown.  Many were reinterred from other Civil War battlefields, including 1,500 from he Battle of Chickamauga.

During World War I, 78 German prisoners and World War II, 108 German prisoners  who died in captivity were buried there.
