Volunteers clean up Cave Hill Cemetery in honor of fallen veterans

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Spectrum News 1) – Carry the Load is leading efforts to honor veterans at Cave Hill Cemetery.

Debbie Stritenberger is one of a few volunteers sprucing up the gravesites of who those who served.

“Some of us are cleaning, some of us are straightening, some of us are mulching. It’s just all kinds of things going on,” she said.

She’s retired and has been volunteering since 2023, but it’s her first time volunteering with Carry the Load.

Stritenberger said she discovered the organization while scrolling through Facebook.

“I do not have any military people in my immediate family, but I do appreciate all of these lives that were given so that we can be able to live in this country and say and do the things that we want to do. And this is a great way to give back,” she said.

She made it her intention to volunteer on Sept. 11 to honor the veterans.

“With all the sadness that’s been going on the last couple of days, I needed to do something positive. So this is where I’m at,” she said.

It’s been over two decades since the world-altering actions of the 2001 terror attacks, but Stritenberger sees there’s still so much that could be better in the country as the U.S. honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
