Pleased to join my Senate colleagues in announcing the VAs - TopicsExpress

Pleased to join my Senate colleagues in announcing the VAs acquisition of land for a Veterans Cemetery right here in El Paso County. The land will cover 374 acres at the Rolling Hills Ranch. As the son of a World War II veteran, I know the importance of dignity and respect for our nations heroes. That is why the very first bill I introduced in Congress was to bring a Veterans Cemetery to El Paso County. It is tremendously exciting to see the hard work and help of so many members of our community pay off after all these years. I want to especially thank our Pikes Peak National Cemetery Committee for their years of dedication and advocacy on this project. The tens of thousands of veterans here in the Fifth Congressional District will now have a special place of remembrance close to heart and home.
