It started with a search for a single grave
but that revealed the sad state of so many veterans' final resting places.
So we started cleaning.
We discovered that between Bioshield and Resene we could clean and restore.
And then we started wondering about the people whose graves we cleaned.
And that lead to the stories on Facebook.
Every day now, for over two years.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
