Morgan Griffith | G000568 | morgangriffith.house.gov | morgangriffith | https://morgangriffith.house.gov/news/ | scraper | The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Cemetery Administration (NCA) has awarded the Commonwealth of Virginia a grant of up to $243,467. The funding supports expansion of the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery in Dublin, Virginia. U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement: “Honoring our veterans is part of the cultural heritage of Virginia’s Ninth District. “The Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery does a magnificent job at honoring our revered veteran communities. “This NCA grant for as much as $243,467 should help the Cemetery construct new features, including nearly 500 gravesites and irrigation. Also, the funds will allow the addition of a U.S. Space Force service branch emblem. “I am proud that the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery, by virtue of the good work it does, has put itself in a position to contend for these funds.” BACKGROUND According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery serves more than 108,000 veterans and their eligible family members in the region. The installation of survey grid monuments will take place at an existing turfed area. The Space Force service branch emblem will be located at the existing assembly area. ### | 1 | 2026-09-18T09:27:43Z | 2026-09-18T09:29:09Z |
