I am still leading this effort, but our home flooded badly during Hurricane Ian 11 months ago and we have been in recovery mode every day. We just had our interior doors installed today. They will continue trimming the doors, trimming the windows, installing baseboards, and installing crown molding all week. We will eventually get back to a finished home, but it's exhausting financially and emotionally. I will be leading a veteran headstone cleaning event on Saturday September 2nd in Ebenezer, GA at Georgia Salzburger Society, 2980 Ebenezer Rd, Rincon, GA 31326.

I had the honor to be able to visit Arlington cemetery several years ago. The whole cemetery is honored as a shrine. Very dignified with many signs to be silent. Visited so many patriotic monuments and graves within. The memorial for the NASA challenger launch. It was a very memorable experience. It would be a great honor to be able to go find other veterans in our community cemeteries and revitalize their markers.

You are definitely one of us who "gets it." I love my opportunities to visit Arlington National Cemetery. Each veteran grave, regardless of location, should receive the same level of care and respect as provided at Arlington.

I've been a FindaGrave photo contributor for years. I always made it a habit to take veterans' gravestone photos (regardless of whether one already existed on the F.A.G. website), just so I could learn more about their particular regiment, where they fought, what certain ranks meant. I'm so thrilled that you've created a space to specifically honor our military. Count me in for uploads from Southeast Texas.

Hi Charles Davis! I am grateful for any and all contributions by Volunteers willing to help document the military service of our veterans of the past. If each American would add just one veteran grave to VeteranGraves.com this week, we would have them all by Wednesday!

From VeteranGraves.com website programmer and host: Hi Trae, I can’t find anything wrong. I ran a malware scanner on the website and it’s clean. People will install virus/malware protection software and sometimes they can report false negatives. That’s probably what is happening here. Otherwise we would get tons of people complaining.

I am simply the spokesperson. The ones to thank are the volunteers all across the country who are taking it upon themselves to take up this cause to clean every veteran headstone in their local cemeteries.

You're welcome! I can envision the day when all veteran graves have been Added to VeteranGraves.com, we have a Volunteer assigned to each veteran grave, and each Volunteer reports their maintenance tasks on a quarterly basis. Maintenance tasks will include headstone cleaning and grave flag replacement.

Hi Henry. You mentioned VeteranGraves.com link taking you back to this video. I'm not sure exactly what you're doing. VeteranGraves.com is a standalone website. This video is a KZitem video. I have a link to this video on the VeteranGraves.com home page.

I agree. However, I simply don't know how to do it. My way of accomplishing the same thing is to direct people to my website ByMemorialDay.com where I have posted links to some of my KZitem videos teaching potential Volunteers what they need to know in order to begin cleaning veteran headstones.

@Honor Your DNA have you ever ordered medallions for veterans family purchased headstones and mounted them?

@@arkansasboy45 I know about the veteran medallions, but I've not ordered one yet. I've only seen a limited few affixed to privately purchased headstones. My grandfather has a privately purchased headstone and I've considered ordering a medallion for him. There are two ways to affix the medallion to the existing headstone. First, you can use an epoxy that I believe comes with the medallion. Or, second, you can drill a hole through the existing headstone and affix the medallion with a bolt, washer, and nut. I'm not really a fan of either option for affixing the medallions. I don't trust the epoxy will last out in the weather. And I'm concerned about drilling a hole through a perfect slab of granite or marble.

@Honor Your DNA I understand your concerns about affixing a medallion but epoxy seems to be a quite permanent solution.
