U.S. Republican Sen. John Boozman of Arkansas has helped the veterans and
supported the campaign by guiding their proposals through Congress twice.
Former President Barack Obama signed legislation, in 2014, that authorized the
monument to be built. President Donald Trump also gave his approval this year
and signed a resolution that allows the memorial to be built in the capital’s
monument zone.
The National Park Service will hold a hearing for two proposed sites later
this month. Officials will invite the public to comment on the proposal.
