In 1973, the Maryland Veterans Commission
was authorized to acquire cemetery sites for
Maryland veterans honorably discharged from the
Armed Forces of the United States and their imme-
diate families (Chapter 504, Acts of 1973). Funds
appropriated were authorized in 1974 to develop
cemeteries rather than to acquire sites, since Stare
land would be used (Chapter 775, Acts of 1974).
Through its Cemetery Program, the Commis-
sion acquires, establishes, supervises, and controls
cemeteries. It sets eligibility requirements for burial.
The Commission also maintains a permanent
registry of graves of all persons who served in the
military or naval forces of the country in time of war
and who are buried in Maryland (Code State
Government Article, sees. 9-904 through 9-914).
The five veterans' cemeteries located in Maryland
are in AUegany Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Dor-
chester and Prince George's counties (Code State
Government Article, sees. 9-913 through 9-914).
