Good progress has been made on gathering and collating veterans' <br />records from various sources into a master database, identifying needs including site surveys, <br />seeking cemetery restoration education venues, and the start of a comprehensive improvement <br />plan for public review. One decision that has been made is not to move forward with any <br />restoration until we are better educated and trained.
