To honor our Veterans laid to rest at the Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery, our Nuvision Alaska team is partnering with American Legion Jack Henry Post 1 for the 4th year in a row to clean headstones in time for Memorial Day. It is our goal to acknowledge the true meaning of Memorial Day, which is to pay our respects to those who sacrificed their lives while defending our nation.

We are asking for our members and the community to come together to support this project. Hundreds of gravesites are in need of maintenance and many headstone markers are overgrown with sod. We hope to pay tribute to these soldiers by making their names be seen and recognized.

The Legion's Auxiliary and the VFW will be placing American Flags at each gravesite to indicate which veteran headstones to be maintained.

Please consider signing up to join us. You are welcome to bring your family or friends, the more volunteers we get, the larger impact we can make. We will be providing coffee and snacks to volunteers during the event and there is a reception at the American Legion after the clean-up.

We will have tools on hand but we encourage bringing your own if you prefer:
- Gardening or yard gloves
- Carts & wheelbarrows
- Tools to cut sod: Lawn edgers, garden knives, boxcutters, carpet cutting tool, and pruning saws
- Hand tools: trowels, pruners & cultivators
- Scrub brushes (natural or nylon bristles, NO plastic or metal)
- 5 gallon buckets (empty of filled with water)
- Water jugs and spray bottles (no pressure washers)

This is a great opportunity to pay respects and to giveback this Memorial Day weekend and we look forward to honoring our heroes on Saturday.
