I never get the feeling from my constituents that they're not willing to make sure we lay our veterans to rest.

It is my hope that by bringing all the parties together here today, we can make progress in evaluating the Veterans' Cemetery Grants Program and ultimately to serve the needs of our veterans as best we can.

the sole purpose of honoring that commitment that our servicemembers have made in making sure that we, as a nation, a grateful nation, follow through with everything from the benefits and the health care to that dignified burial, that says…

I always tell the story of when I went out to Walter Reed and visited one of our wounded warriors.

Maybe we should change the regulations, Congressman, and let's not forget that because of the veterans we have an operating democracy and a republic.

You think this land contribution pushed this forward? Would we have been able to get this land elsewhere, would there have been money to buy it.

this community understands this. They understand that this will transform Preston into already a very special place, but it will be hallowed ground.

Do you think that's true, Ms. Brown?

I can't tell you how proud I am to have a small piece in this.

I often say I stand on the shoulders of giants, and it's no more true than today of the folks who have done the hard work.

the local officials, the members of the Fillmore County Board and all the staff have absolutely energized and enthused people about this issue.
