Veteran Headstone Cleaning By Memorial Day
Donation protected
Millions of veteran headstones located outsideNational Cemeteries look like this all across America. Each marks hallowed ground, and it’s embarrassing that we’ve allowed these sacred stones to be soiled on our watch. I hope you’re willing to help make this right.
I can’t clean 6 million veteran headstones by myself.
I can’t keep flags flying at every veteran’s grave by myself.
I can’t organize millions of Volunteers by myself.
I can’t tell the stories of 6 million American heroes by myself.
So I’m asking you to make a donation to oversee the perpetual care of all veteran graves located outside National Cemeteries.
Run your fingers over this filth and you can feel “Company H,” “25th Indiana Infantry.”
From the condition of this iconic white marble veteran headstone, you’d never know this man determined the outcome of the Civil War along the banks of the Tennessee at a place called Shiloh. If the 25th Indiana doesn’t hold on at all hazards on April 6, 1862:
· Grant loses the Battle of Shiloh
· Grant never becomes Commander of all Union Forces
· And Abraham Lincoln loses re-election in 1864
If the headstone of a Union Soldier from the Civil War looks like this in Warrick County, Indiana where Abraham Lincoln learned the law, you can bet veteran headstones in your local cemeteries look just as bad.

By Memorial Day, my vision is to assign a Volunteer to each and every veteran grave. That Volunteer will care for their veteran’s grave as if it were sacred ground, because it is.
