Just in Manilla overnight. Flight to Ho Chi Minh City as 12:30 p.m. the next day. Google says it's 30 minutes from the airport. I thought I'd try to be there when the doors open at 9 a.m. My uncle is memorialized there. I simply want to get a photo next to his name. Is it realistic for me to do that and catch my 12:30 to Saigon if I'm there when the doors open at 9? Also, does every soldier whose name is listed on the memorial also have a head stone? My uncle was MIA. His name is in the center memorial ... just wondered if those men have a nameless headstone also, or maybe not?

I would be interested to see what you did in your situation. Personally, I wouldn't do it, I've been to this graveyard about 10 times.. Traffic can be a problem then there is the long walk in to the center area where there are thousands of names. Its well organized so if you go to the area of his state, and military branch of service then it will narrow your search There are approximately 17,700 people buried here so its difficult to find this person if you don't know what you are doing. I would contact the guy that is over seeing this graveyard, I met him in February 2018, he is very helpful and knowledgeable.
1) Can I go there at night time? The Cemetery hours are: Sunday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Monday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Tuesday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Wednesday 9AM–5PM Thursday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Friday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Saturday#TAB# 9AM–5PM 2) Does rain prevent a visit? Except for the small chapel, the cemetery lacks covering. Visiting in the rain may be unpleasant without an umbrella and appropriate clothing.
