"Kentucky's four existing cemeteries have interred more than 10,000 veterans and dependents since the first state veterans cemetery opened in 2004," Reeves said in a state news release. "I will say this: Kentucky knows how to take care of its veterans. "Since 1978, VA has provided over $766 million in grants to partner with state and tribal veteran cemeteries throughout the United States, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The Kentucky Veterans Cemetery South East is the 110th veterans cemetery supported by the Veterans Cemetery Grants Program and the fifth in the Commonwealth. We're proud to see Kentucky honors its veterans and families in such a dignified manner." "We are pleased that the veterans of Southeastern Kentucky now have a secure resting place close to their families," said Benjamin Adams, commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs. "As at all of our facilities, treating veterans and their families with the utmost respect and compassion is our mission." "We owe our veterans a great debt of gratitude for their sacrifice and brave service to defend our beloved country and the freedoms we enjoy. Our Southeastern Kentucky veterans and their families deserve these eternal resting memorial grounds marking the valiant service that sets them apart," Congressman Hal Rogers said. "This is a great way to ensure we continue to honor our local American heroes beyond their years of service for generations to follow." "Hyden's new state veterans cemetery is something we have all worked hard to secure for a long time," Sen. Brandon Smith said. "I am thankful to those in the Department of Veterans Affairs at both the state and federal level for making this possible, and I certainly appreciate the service of our brave veterans across the country and especially those from Southeastern Kentucky." "It's truly an honor to have the fifth and final state veterans cemetery located in my district," said Rep. Tim Couch. "The state of Kentucky can't do enough to honor our veterans." The cemetery will expand in four phases, for a total of 4,588 internment spaces by the end of Phase IV. This story was posted on 2018-04-29 06:22:48
