VA marks 23rd anniversary of 9/11 with National Day of Service and Remembrance events at VA...

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will host more than 60 National Day of Service and Remembrance events on September 11, at VA national cemeteries across 34 states and Puerto Rico.

These events are open to all and will honor the Veterans, service members, law enforcement personnel, firefighters, and other first responders who served and sacrificed for the nation on Sept. 11, 2001, and in the years since.

For the sixth consecutive year, VA’s National Cemetery Administration is partnering with Carry the Load to host these volunteer service events, along with AmeriCorps. At these events, volunteers will clean headstones and participate in other beautification activities at VA national cemeteries.
