To honor those Kentuckians who proudly served their country during the
Vietnam War but remain unaccounted for, the Department of Veterans' Affairs
shall update the plaque at the base of the Freedom Tree near the Floral Clock
on the grounds of the New Capitol Annex to contain the names of Kentucky
Vietnam War POW/MIAs from the most recent official accounting available
from the United States Department of Defense. The plaque shall also contain a
depiction of the POW/MIA flag of the National League of Families of American
Prisoners of War and Missing in Southeast Asia.
The Department of Veterans' Affairs shall be responsible for the design of the
new plaque required by subsection (1) of this section, and the plaque shall be
paid for by the Department of Veterans' Affairs. The Department of Veterans'
Affairs may receive appropriations, gifts, grants, federal funds, and any other
funds, both public and private, to defray the cost of updating the plaque.
The Department for Facilities and Support Services shall be responsible for
preparing the base for the updated plaque, and for installing the plaque. The
Department for Facilities and Support Services shall be reimbursed the cost of
the installation by the Department of Veterans' Affairs. The Department for
Facilities and Support Services shall also be responsible for the routine
maintenance of the Freedom Tree, the memorial plaque, and the grounds
surrounding the tree and plaque.
