In fact, in less than a decade, the current cemetery will be fully at capacity, and there will be no more room for burials \u2013 this is why expanding Chattanooga\u2019s National Cemetery is critically important to our veterans and their families,\u201d said Congressman Fleischmann. \u201cFor nearly 160 years, the current national cemetery in Chattanooga has served as the final, noble resting place for generations of service members who\u2019ve worn our country\u2019s uniform. With the VA\u2019s announcement that they will expand the Chattanooga National Cemetery, generations of veterans and their families will continue to have a sacred place to be buried with dignity, honor, and respect.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am so proud to be able to bring America\u2019s newest national cemetery to East Tennessee. I worked diligently with the VA and local leaders to ensure that the expansion of the Chattanooga National Cemetery remained in East Tennessee. There is no better place in the U.S. to honor our nation\u2019s veterans than the property the VA has chosen in Meigs County. Our nation\u2019s veterans, their families, and their loved ones deserve the best. This includes the best possible place for our nation to honor our heroes and their loved ones. I\u2019m proud to have secured the best new national cemetery for our service members and veterans.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://fleischmann.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-fleischmann-brings-america-s-newest-national-cemetery-to-east-tennessee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4942651614546776, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
