Dayton Daily News

This week, the nation is remembering the lives lost and the efforts of heroes on Sept. 11, 2001 when a series of airline hijackings and suicide attacks by al-Qaeda militants occurred on U.S. soil.

Nearly 3,000 people perished in New York City, Arlington, Va. and Shanksville, Penn. More than 6,000 others were injured.

“On Patriot Day, volunteers from across the country will gather at VA National Cemeteries to clean headstones and beautify these sacred grounds,” states a Facebook post by the Dayton National Cemetery at 4100 W. Third St. “This event is a perfect opportunity for employee teams, youth groups, and individuals to give back and show appreciation for those who served our country.”

The event, hosted by the cemetery and Carry the Load, begins at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Sign up online at https://participate.carrytheload.org/site/DocServer/Dayton_PD.pdf.
