Verdie Bowen Sr., State of Alaska Veterans Affairs Director, talks with Governor Mike Dunleavy prior to an open house ceremony at the future site of the Interior Alaska Veterans Cemetery near Salcha on July 29. Veterans from the surrounding Fairbanks communities and the 168th Wing attended to witness the ceremony and see the new cemetery site.
The site is a 257-acre expanse located on a hilltop off Johnson Road, about 30 miles south of Fairbanks on the Richardson Highway.
