Any eligible veteran, along with spouses and eligible dependents, may be interred at the cemetery.  The eligibility criteria for burial at the cemetery is the same as for a national veterans cemetery. The Cemetery conveys the appreciation of the people of California to its veterans answering the call of duty and faithfully and honorably serving the United States of America and the State of California.  The dedication ceremony took place on Veterans´ Day, November 11, 2005.  The event included a flyover, 21-gun salute, and music by the USAF Band of the Golden West, with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger being the keynote speaker.  PROPOSED VETERANS HOME IN REDDING Jon Thomas, a Fresno developer, donated 43 acres to the City of Redding for a Veterans Home. The land sits on a bluff along Knighton Road above Churn Creek.  A State Senate Bill that would provide an additional $30 million in bonds to ensure the construction of the veterans home has cleared its first hurdle.   If everything goes smoothly, groundbreaking could occur late 2008 and construction would begin for the 150-bed home which could open in 2010.     LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR SHASTA COUNTY   Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA)        P.
