ZACHARY, La. (The Advocate) – Volunteer Crystal Honore carried a bucket of pulled weeds with her from tree to tree during the Carry The Load Patriot Day event at Louisiana National Cemetery on Thursday, Sept. 11.

Honore was joined by volunteers taking part in the Carry The Load event.

In honor of Patriot Day, volunteers gathered at the Zachary cemetery to help clean headstones and beautify the grounds.

The effort is part of Carry the Load’s annual nationwide Patriot Day event. Thousands of volunteers participated at nearly 70 national cemeteries across the U.S.

The nonprofit hosts volunteer events each Memorial Day, Patriot Day and Veterans Day as a way to provide active ways to honor and remember the nation’s heroes by connecting Americans to the sacrifices made by military and first responder communities, a news release said.
