On August 13, 2010, Gov. Dave Heinemann will travel to the panhandle of Nebraska to dedicate 20 acres of historical land as hallowed ground and the site of Nebraska's first state Veteran's cemetery. On this site, over 30,000 men trained for a mission that would help Europe's long nightmare of WWII by learning how to jump from planes and gliders. Many never returned home. Nebraska Veteran's Cemetery is located 3 miles east of Alliance and has the capacity for over 8000 interments. There are many other events planned for the weekend. (Registering for burial will also be available.) for more info: www.visitboxbutte.com *****
