Reminder: Nevada WWI veterans remembered by family, friends, supporters in 100th Anniversary Ceremony
The Fernley Reporter

The Nevada Department of Veterans Services (NDVS), in partnership with the Nevada Veterans Coalition, will host a "Remembrance Ceremony" at the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley, Nevada on Saturday, April 8 at 11 a.m.

The event will mark a significant milestone by remembering the 100th Anniversary of the United States entry into World War I (WWI) and the sacrifices made. More than four million Americans sent their sons and daughters to serve in uniform during the "Great War." The war claimed 116, 516 U.S. soldiers. Of those killed in battle, 195 were Nevadans. In all, another 200,000 were wounded which is a casualty rate far greater than WWII.

There are eleven WWI veterans interred at our cemetery in Fernley. Please join us in remembering all our veterans who served during this time. One hundred WWI Centennial Commemorative pins will be handed out to attendees. Those who attend will also be asked to place a flower on one of the gravesites of the WWI veterans.

DIRECTIONS: The Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery is located East on I-80 at Exit 48 in Fernley. If coming from Reno, turn left after exiting the freeway and go under I-80 past the Denny's/gas station building. Turn left on Mission. The cemetery will be on the right side of Veterans Way.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
