[cs_content][cs_element_section _id=”1″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”2″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”3″ ][cs_element_text _id=”4″ ][cs_content_seo]OUR GOAL: Ensuring that Orange County has a State Veterans Cemetery that satisfies the following requirements:
In the most convenient location
In the shortest timeframe
At the lowest cost
On the former MCAS El Toro
At a historic location with the iconic control tower and original hangars [to see video, click here and scroll down]
And that’s only at the ARDA site at the Great Park, in Irvine.
\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”5″ ][cs_content_seo]The goal of this website is supported by thousands of veterans who know the truth, and are willing to speak up against the false narrative being widely disseminated that the State Veterans Cemetery at the ARDA site is dead. The fact is that it is still alive now, as it has been since 2017. All it has taken, and still takes is a “Yes” vote from the Irvine City Council majority to begin negotiations with CalVet for transfer of the ARDA site, while ensuring that our local needs and desires are met.
CalVet published a 333-page report,[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”6″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”7″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”8″ ][cs_element_text _id=”9″ ][cs_content_seo]IMPORTANT
