The
Fort Ord veterans cemetery has moved one step closer to being a reality,
with the state and federal Veterans Affairs departments concluding there is no
significant impact to the environment from the building of the site. This has been a long battle on many fronts,
but following a 36-day comment period, the ruling was made official. Environmental groups still have until
September 14 to make a legal challenge to the ruling, but if that doesn't
happen the application will be sent to the Veterans Affairs department in order
to sign off on a grant. Many veterans
and their families will be relieved to see this issue put to rest.
