WASHINGTON -- Want to find a veteran's grave? Get out your "smart" phone.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has enhanced its Web site to make it easier to look up the grave sites of more than 6.7 million veterans on a "smart" mobile phone, such as a BlackBerry.
It builds on an online service started in 2004 that helps locate the graves of veterans and eligible family members buried in national cemeteries or whose graves are marked with a government headstone.
Once the site locates the cemetery, it offers users directions on how to get there.
