The resolution acknowledges the service and sacrifices of the United States military veterans throughout history, emphasizing the importance of providing them with dignified resting places. It highlights that Alabama is home to approximately 400,000 servicemembers and veterans but currently has only three active veteran cemeteries, with the nearest one over 100 miles away in Tennessee.

In response to this need, the resolution calls for the establishment and operation of a state-owned veterans cemetery in northern Alabama, specifically in or near Madison County. The Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs, in consultation with the State Board of Veterans Affairs, is authorized to take the necessary steps to create this cemetery. The resolution concludes by directing that a copy be sent to the Commissioner of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure awareness and action on this matter.
