Senators introduce bill to fund indoor facilities at North Dakota cemetery lacking basic amenities.

The North Dakota National Cemetery in Harwood lacks basic facilities like indoor bathrooms and a building, forcing funerals to be held outdoors, often in harsh weather. Senators Scott Meyer and Kathy Hogan have introduced a bipartisan bill to fund a new building with a chapel, bathrooms, and other amenities. The Honor Guard has raised $1.2 million of the $4.2 million needed for the project, aiming to provide a more respectful environment for veterans' funerals.
