And as a proud Principal Co- Author of AB 1453, 1 <br />encourage the City of Santa Ana to pass and adopt a resolution in support of this effort. <br />California has the highest population of veterans in the nation with more than 130,000 <br />veterans in Orange County alone. However, according to the National Cemetery <br />Administration, the closest military burial site is the Riverside Veterans Cemetery. For <br />many of our local veterans and their families, this location is neither convenient nor an <br />option. Orange County represents the sixth most populous county in the nation, and I <br />believe it is critical that there be a final resting place in our community for those who <br />sacrificed so much for us. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely,, A <br />Tom Daly <br />State Assemblymember, 69th District <br />CCM 03/18/2014 <br />55D <br />
