Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a new national cemetery in Hawaii to provide burial grounds for military veterans and their families. The cemetery would serve active-duty service members, retirees, and veterans in Hawaii who currently have limited access to federal burial facilities in the state. This would give Hawaii residents who served in the military a dedicated place to be buried with military honors.
