\u201cIt is important that people are informed of any developments that can spur public discussion, especially when it will determine a resting place for our nation\u2019s great heroes,\u201d said Quirk-Silva, who represents Garden Grove, Stanton and other cities. \u201cThe new artist rendering illustrates the progress we have made. We have a vision, and if everything goes smoothly, cemetery construction could start as early as October 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new cemetery is expected to relieve a shortage in military gravesites in Southern California. The national cemetery in Los Angeles is at capacity and the one in Riverside requires a lengthy wait. Local chapters of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion have backed the strawberry field site.<\/p>\n
