GRAFTON, W.Va. (WBOY) — Over the last two decades, people have found different ways to pay homage and honor those who have lost their lives in the terroristic attacks that took place on Sept. 11, 2001.

Sept. 11 is now commonly recognized as National Day of Service and Remembrance, and this year, West Virginia University’s AmeriCorps collaborative sector traveled to the West Virginia National Cemetery in Grafton to scrub headstones and help clean up gravesites.
