Byrd A Fitting Memorial The Grafton National Veterans Cemetery in Taylor County has been closed to burials for more " than twenty years for lack of space, a situation that has moved West Virginia's veterans to join together in an effort to provide an- other national veterans cemetery in our state. -' The years of hard w!Srk on that project by West Virginia's veterans and by officials in the • federal and state govern- ments were rewarded re- ently when the head of the Veterans Administration promised that his agency would "move as quickly as possible" to provide new national veterans burial space in West Virginia. West Virginia veterans received that promise from VA Chief Harry Waiters during a meeting in my Capitol office, which was also attended by U.S. Sen. Jennings Randolph and Pep. Alan Mollohan of West Virginia's First Con- gressional District, in which the cemetery is located. Waiters pledged dur- ing the meeting that the $1.75 million in the fiscal 1984 budget, that l was successful in designating for the expansion of na- tional veterans cemetery space in West Virginia, would not be diverted to any other project, but would, in fact, be used in West Virginia. The VA Administra- tor also made clear during our meeting that for the VA to go forward with the West Virginia project, land suitable for burial purposes must be donated to the VA. Waiters told the West Virginia veterans that the VA would study a plot of state-owned land near Pruntytown -- only a few miles from the existing Grafton Cemetery -- to determine its suitability for cemetery use. West Vir- ginia Gov. Jay Rockefeller has already offered to donate that land for a vet- erans cemetery. The VA's recent pledge to work together with West Virginia's vet- erans and with members of the Congressional delega- tion to achfeve the goal of a new veterans cemetery for West Virginia will allow us to continue our efforts on both the state and fed- eral levels to make the new site a reality. A new national veter- ans cemetery for West Vir- ginia will be an appropriate and fitting memorial to the sacrifices West Virginia's veterans have made for their country.
