Creates a new national cemetery in Hawai'i for veterans and their families.
This bill would create a new national cemetery in Hawai'i. This means veterans, service members, and their families in Hawai'i would have local burial options, instead of needing to travel thousands of miles to another state. It aims to solve the problem of limited burial space for veterans on the islands.
Today, veterans in Hawai'i who want an inground burial in a national cemetery must choose one at least 2,500 miles away because the only national cemetery there has been mostly closed to new burials since 1991. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs would be required to establish a new national cemetery in Hawai'i, giving local veterans and their families more accessible burial options.
