Guaranteeing Public Access to National Cemeteries on Legal Holidays
This bill ensures that all national cemeteries managed by federal agencies (Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and National Park Service) must remain open to visitors on every legal public holiday. This change guarantees that veterans' families and the public can access the graves of their loved ones on important days off work. The legislation facilitates remembrance and tribute on days when citizens are typically available to visit.
