Patriot Day

Nov. 10 -  By Maxwell Svec, One Summit Manager, Strategic Programs & Events. For this Veterans Day, we want to share an impactful short film that weaves together some incredible people, organizations, and notions we hold in high regard here at One Summit.

Good Day got a first look at the impact of North Texas Giving Day when it kicked off at 6 a.m. Donors have been generously giving to the 3,300 local nonprofits that are participating. One of those charities is Carry the Load, which is known for a huge Memorial Day event in Dallas.

A national nonprofit group, known as Carry The Load, came to Culpeper National Cemetery on Sept. 11 to show their respect to fallen soldiers by cleaning the grounds at Culpeper National Cemetery.

GRAFTON, W.Va (WDTV) - Today as we remember the lives lost on 9/11 and in the war on terror, there are some community members finding a way to pay respects for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

More than a dozen volunteers spent the day at the West Virginia National Cemetery in Grafton as part of the “Carry the Load” mission.

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.

HOUSTON - Monday is the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attack.

The National Day of Service and Remembrance took place Sunday morning at Houston's National Cemetery to honor the date.

More than a thousand volunteers assembled to clean the facilities in the memorial of the event.

The observance of 9/11 was organized to honor the victims just months after the attack by a small group of family members and friends.

In honor of Patriot Day, the Keokuk National Cemetery and the Department of Veterans Affairs have teamed up with Carry the Load to offer a special volunteer opportunity for community members.

On Monday, September 11, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., residents are invited to partake in a headstone cleaning activity to show their respect and gratitude to the veterans resting at the cemetery. The effort is not just to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of the headstones but also to ensure the memory of the veterans remains pristine.
