The Montana Board of Veterans Affairs will be conducting its next meeting in
Laurel at the American Legion Hall located in Riverside Park. The meeting will
take place on Tuesday, May 22, beginning at 1:30 p.m.
One of the primary topics to be discussed will be the planned Yellowstone
County Veterans Cemetery; and on behalf of Board Chairman Don Kettner, you
are formally invited to the meeting. Upon meeting adjournment, we also plan to
tour the cemetery site. This letter is being sent to the Yellowstone County
Commissioners, the Mayor of Laurel, the President of the Yellowstone County
United Veterans Council, and state lawmakers who have been involved in
passing legislation supporting this project. If one (or more) of you would like to
make a presentation to the board regarding the cemetery's developmental
process, that would be most appreciated. Also, we are hoping someone will lead
us on a tour of the proposed cemetery site.
Please contact me at 324-3741 or iofoster~mt.gov if you have any questions or
comments. If possi,ble, I would also appreciate knowing who may be attending
the meeting so I can inform Chairman Kettner and make any needed changes to
the meeting's agenda.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in Laurel!
