A New All-Veterans Organization is Fighting for the Long-Promised Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery in Irvine
In recent weeks, members of a newly formed organization of Orange County veterans — Veterans for the ARDA Site Cemetery — have been hard at work contacting the State Legislature regarding the long-promised Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery that was scheduled to be built at the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station on the “ARDA” site at the Great Park in Irvine.
The all-veterans organization is led by longtime Irvine resident and U.S. Air Force veteran pilot Frank McGill.
