ABMC Sites to Remain Open in Event of Government Shutdown in April 2017

In the event of a government shutdown, the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) will not be affected. In September 2016, Congress provided full-year funding to ABMC for FY 2017 (October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017.). All ABMC sites will remain open and continue to operate as normal.

ABMC is funded through the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies appropriations subcommittees of the House and Senate.
