U.S. Sen Menendez backs cemetery measure

New Jersey U.S. Senator Robert Menendez has helped to address the costs of maintaining and creating cemeteries for U.S. Veterans. To quote from his constituency e-mail:

Grants for Veteran Cemeteries:
With the aging of the WWII generation, we
have moved into the beginning of the period of greatest need for funding of the
Grants for State Veteran Cemeteries, but funding levels have not kept up with
need. I have helped ensure adequate funding to address the costs of constructing
new cemeteries as well as the needs of existing State Veteran Cemeteries.
Veterans of WWII are the Greatest Generation, and we must honor them as such.
The care we put into Veterans' cemeteries should appropriately reflect our
gratitude for the tremendous service and sacrifice they have made for our
nation.
