The Committee to reopen and expand Camp Nelson National Cemetery, a nonprofit corporation, was formed on Sept. 19, 1974, after a presidential order in June 1967 had closed certain national cemeteries. On Memorial Day, May 26, 1975, the committee donated 10 acres to the United States Government to expand Camp Nelson National Cemetery, and the Veterans Administration reopened the facility that day. The committee acknowledged assistance from Governor Wendell Ford, Governor Julian Carroll, Congressman John B. Breckinridge, and V.A. Administrator Richard L. Roudebush. Its members were Joe Bietz, Roy Hudson, Jr., Harold Boian, Dewey Jackson, Roman F. Budzinski, Sr., Dorrance A. Long, Thyra Stewart Budzinski, Brady A. Miracle, Bernard M. Cates, Edmund C. McNulty, Arnett Whitey Cobb, Floyd Potts, Harold W. Fann, Charles Salyers, Kathryne Hayden, Holton West, Howard H. Howells, and Lucien C. West.
