We Follow Through: Honor and sacrifice, paying tribute to our heroes this Veterans Day
Families are preserving history and paying tribute to the men and women who served our country. Duty, honor and sacrifice sum up today in a nutshell. Today is Veterans Day, and families in Williamsburg are giving back to say thank you.
That's why cemetery leaders at Cedar Grove called on the community to honor those who served by placing flags for over 500 graves.
Nearly 60 volunteers showed up last week, even the youngest in our community, to ensure every gravesite of a veteran had a flag for today. For 18 years, Cedar Grove Cemetery in Williamsburg has paid homage to military members who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Families say it's important to honor the memory of those who have lost their lives and reflect on what it means to serve the nation.
Many volunteers were there in support of their own loved ones who have died fighting for our country. It's a tedious job to put all the flags down, but the work isn't done. Volunteers are needed to pick them up tomorrow.
