Sullivan Applauds VA Funding of Metlakatla Veterans Cemetery

Statement

Today, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced that it has awarded nearly $1.1 million in grant funding for the creation of a Veterans Cemetery in Metlakatla, Alaska. This announcement is the culmination of cooperative work between U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Metlakatla leaders, and the VA's National Cemetery Administration (NCA).

"We've been working toward this goal for years and it is a huge achievement for the entire Metlakatla community," said Senator Sullivan. "Every American veteran, no matter where they live, deserves a resting place that commemorates their service and sacrifice to our country. I am incredibly pleased that funding is on the way so that our great veterans in Metlakatla will now have that place."
