It begins at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday. “Carry the Load: Who are you Carrying?”’ is an effort by volunteers to clean headstones and beautify VA National Cemeteries across the nation to honor and remember those who served our country. The dress for the cemetery event is casual and respectful. All events will be outdoors. Organizers request no open toe shoes or tank tops and suggest visitors be mindful of the weather. No pets please and children under age 14 must be accompanied by an adult. The 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony features a speech by Col.
