Sharing this inspiring news story from Channel 24, WNWO - TV News in Toledo Ohio and posted online on September 22, 2020 by Jay Hannah.:

Excerpt:

"I decided to choose this project because I have a lot of family in the military, or have been veterans. It just felt like the right project for me."

There are roughly 1,000 veteran graves at Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery in Waterville.

Andrew and his family plan on cutting back any overgrowth on them, washing them off and replacing each marker sticker.

They've made it through over 60% in just two weekends."

 
  Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery in Waterville, Lucas County, Ohio has 3,246 memorials on "Find A Grave."
