    Verona Loop National Cemetery With the acquistition during the national emergency of 1941 of the 85,000 acres of land that became Camp Lejune, the federal government assumed responsibility for moving the graves found in the approximately 134 identifiable family and church graveyards scattered throughout the reservation to more secure and accessable locations. Two were selected for the dignified and respectful reinterment of the former inhabitants, some of whom farmed these lands as far back as the 18th century. The White graves, numbering almost 1200, were reestablished at Montford Point alongside NC Hwy 24 while the African American graves, in the era of segregation, were moved to a separate site on US 175 near Verona. Both will be maintained in perprtuity by Camp Lejune.
