The Michigan Veterans' Home (also known as the Michigan Soldiers' Home) Cemetery in Grand Rapids has two entrances: the "old" entrance off of Monroe which is quietly marked and the main one which is accessed from the grounds of the Home itself (and there is visitor parking nearby).
The entrance off Monroe shown below allows access to the Marine Iraqi memorial to five men who were killed in 2006-2007.

There is a map board at the entrance from inside the grounds (across the bridge over the pond). There is no map at the Monroe Street entrance. Feel free to download this one:
