VETERANS CEMETERY PROGRAM

In 1973, the Maryland Veterans Commission
was authorized to acquire sites for cemeteries for
Maryland veterans honorably discharged from the
Armed Forces of the United States, and the mem-
bers of their immediate families (Chapter 504,
Acts of 1973). Funds appropriated were autho-
rized in 1974 to be used for the development of
cemeteries rather than the acquisition of sites,
since State land was to be used (Chapter 775,
Acts of 1974).
Through its Cemetery Program, the Commis-
sion has responsibility for the establishment, ac-
quisition, supervision and control of cemeteries,
and for requirements for eligibility for burial. The
Commission also maintains a permanent registry
of graves of all persons who served in the military
or naval forces of the country in time of war and
who are buried in Maryland (Code State Govern-
ment Article, sees. 9-904 through 9-914). The
five veterans' cemeteries located in Maryland are
in Allegany, Anne Arundel, Baltimore,
Dorchester, and Prince George's counties (Code
State Government Article, sees. 9-913 through
9-914).

Veterans Commission (Chapter 269, Acts of
1982).
