In order to continue to serve our veterans, I am proposing a bill that would designate 1,500 acres of Cecil Field for a veterans cemetery as well as convert the current barracks into a veterans nursing home.

So I hope my colleagues will help me to sponsor this new bill to help Cecil Field develop a cemetery for veterans.
