RISCH: North Idaho needs a veteran cemetery

| July 31, 2026 1:00 AM

Recently I travelled to Medical Lake, Wash., for a military funeral service for a dear veteran friend. The Washington State Veterans Cemetery is beautiful, and the Spokane Veterans Honor Guard did a superb job honoring my fallen friend. On the drive back to Coeur d’Alene, I thought, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have our own veteran cemetery here in North Idaho.

I know Sen. Risch is working on this and it is a recurring discussion topic among the Veteran community here in North Idaho. I commend him and his staff for working on this endeavor. I hope it comes to fruition and I thank him for making this a pressing issue with VA.
