Oregon has three National Cemeteries, all west of the Cascade Mountains (White City, Roseburg and Portland). We need a National or State Veteran’s Cemetery for Central Oregon. Deschutes County is the population hub for Central and large parts of Eastern Oregon.
Veterans, their families and friends need a Veteran’s Cemetery within reasonable driving distance. Besides Interstate 5, U.S. Highway 97 is the only north-south thoroughfare for Oregon. Placing a Veteran’s Cemetery in Deschutes County makes geographic and logistical sense.
PETITION TO SHOW AN INTEREST IN A VETERAN’S CEMETERY FOR DESCHUTES COUNTY AND CENTRAL OREGON

We the undersigned request that our elected officials and the ODVA collaborate with the veterans groups in Deschutes County and Central Oregon to develop a workable proposal for a Veteran’s Cemetery for Deschutes County and Central Oregon.
I have read and agree with this statement. I have not previously signed a petition sheet for this issue.
