HARSHAW, Wis. (WAOW) – Thousands of volunteers are gearing up to clean headstones and beautify sacred grounds at nearly 70 National Cemeteries on September 11, including Northwoods National Cemetery in Harshaw. This is part of Carry The Load’s annual nationwide Patriot Day event.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, September 11. Registration is free, and those interested can sign up at carrytheload.wpenginepowered.com.

Carry The Load aims to honor military and first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice. The nonprofit hosts volunteer events on Memorial Day, Patriot Day, and Veterans Day to connect Americans with the sacrifices of military and first responder communities.
