Star Spangled Salute: Veterans Group Cleans Veteran Grave Sites

Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors a Virginia chapter of a the Kappa Lambda Chi military fraternity that spent this past weekend honoring veterans of the past by cleaning up the very overgrown grave sites at the Wilkerson Memorial Cemetery in their town.  Last year, before Memorial Day the group was placing flags at an adjacent cemetery and noticed how overgrown the Wilkerson Memorial Cemetery was, with grass waist high in some spots.  This year, before memorial day, the decided to do something about it, cleaned it up and in the process uncovering the grave sites of veterans, some from World War I.  Thank you to the veterans and the fraternity for their service and their dedication.
