Major General Frederick Funston

This film showcases a day in the life of Major General Funston—a day that happened to be the great earthquake and fire of San Francisco of 1906. This Medal of Honor recipient led the rescue and recovery efforts that saved much of the city and its people. Produced for NCA’s Veterans Legacy Program by students and faculty from San Francisco State University.

NCA is proud to support local filmmakers, storytellers, and students engaging with the stories of Veterans in their local national cemeteries. They may raise issues of local interest or even controversy. We hope this encourages all viewers to learn more about the Veterans and their circumstances. The views expressed by parties in the films are not those of NCA, but presented as part of the plurality of perspectives and views surrounding the life and service of American Veterans.
