Honoring Our Deceased Veterans
Last week at the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery, we gathered to honor four veterans who have served our nation with courage, dedication, and selflessness. These interments were solemn occasions, offering families and communities a space to reflect, remember, and express gratitude for the service and sacrifice of our military veterans.
In the words of President Ronald Reagan, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” This quote resonates deeply, especially as we witness the ongoing dedication of our community in honoring those who have served.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR VETERANS DAY preparation
The SWVAVCV is soliciting volunteers to honor our interred veterans/family members by placing flags on each grave at the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery on November 7th to prepare for Veterans Day.
If you are interested in helping, just show up at the Cemetery administrative office by 3:00 PM on November 7th.
