Bill > HJR88

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion by the Alabama Legislature, supports the creation and operation of a state veterans cemetery in north Alabama, specifically in or near Madison County. The resolution acknowledges the significant service and sacrifices of all American veterans and emphasizes the duty and honor of providing them with a dignified final resting place. It highlights that Alabama, home to approximately 400,000 servicemembers and veterans, currently has only three active veteran cemeteries, and the nearest one to Huntsville is over 100 miles away in Tennessee. The resolution also notes that the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs, in conjunction with the State Board of Veterans Affairs, has the authority to establish and manage state-owned veterans cemeteries, and it directs that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Commissioner of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs.
