In honor of Patriot Day, the Keokuk National Cemetery and the Department of Veterans Affairs have teamed up with Carry the Load to offer a special volunteer opportunity for community members.
On Monday, September 11, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., residents are invited to partake in a headstone cleaning activity to show their respect and gratitude to the veterans resting at the cemetery. The effort is not just to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of the headstones but also to ensure the memory of the veterans remains pristine.
