The National Military Cemetery Clean-Up – September 29, 2024

The National Military Cemetery Clean-Up 2024 will take place on September 29, 2024, with an alternate date of October 20, 2024. This day of service and community is a wonderful opportunity for serving members of the military, veterans, family members, and the broader community to come together to clean and care for the headstones at the National Military Cemetery.

Details of the event are as follows:

Where: National Military Cemetery

When: September 29, 2024, or October 20, 2024

Time: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

Who: Open to everyone who wishes to show their support for CAF Members, Veterans, and their families

Dress: Relaxed attire

This meaningful activity is a chance to honor those who have served and sacrificed by maintaining the dignity and honor of their final resting places. As participants clean the headstones, they’ll also have a moment to reflect on the legacy and bravery of the individuals commemorated here.

To get a sense of the significance of this event and the impact of previous clean-up efforts, I encourage you to watch this short video: National Military Cemetery Clean-Up Video.

We kindly ask you to share this event with your lists and encourage others to join us. Those interested can register here.

This event is co-hosted by the Beechwood Cemetery Foundation and the National Military Cemetery, and volunteer hour credits can be provided to all those in attendance.

Thank you for helping to spread the word and for your continued support.
