Chris was a strong supporter of the Albert G. Horton Memorial Veterans Cemetery in Suffolk. The location in Suffolk currently has memorials for nearly 13,000 of our fallen heroes. All of our veterans deserve respect and dignity in life and death, as do their families. The Jones & Cabacoy Veterans Care Center in Virginia Beach is also a point of pride for Chris. Chris worked with Secretary Harvey and Majority Leader Cox to get funding for a Hampton Roads veterans care facility passed in 2015. Opening in 2021, this 120-bed facility will provide excellent care for our veterans, especially those in Southeast Virginia. In addition to the Jones & Cabacoy location, the 2015 legislation also funded the Puller Veterans Care Center, a similar 120-bed facility in Fauquier County.
