"The men and women who staff our VLB State Veteran Cemeteries continue to achieve excellence, and I cannot thank them enough for their hard work. As we work to open our fifth state Veterans cemetery in December, it's my promise to all Texans to continue to provide the highest quality of service to Texas Veterans and their families."

- City of Killeen at the Central Texas SVC
