Great Lakes National Cemetery Spring Headstone Cleaning
|
|
April 29, 2023
There is no better way to serve our veterans that served our country so proudly after they are no longer with us. This year Ken Loudy along with his wife, Cindy, represented the Jeremiah Clark Chapter at this event. Ken and his wife spent 6 hours out in the rain, wind and cold cleaning headstones of our fallen Veterans at Great Lakes National Cemetery during their Annual Spring Headstone Cleaning Day. There was a pretty good turn out as there was people everywhere you looked. They went around the cemetery and cleaned up many of their family’s headstones along with the many friends they have buried there. Afterward they fell into line with everyone else and got the job done as they set out to do. Thanks to Ken and Cindy for their hard work.

Great Lakes National Cemetery Memorial Day Flag Placement
|
|
May 26, 2023
Memorial Day, a sacred occasion deeply ingrained in the heart of our nation, is a poignant reminder of the valor and selflessness displayed by those who answered the call of duty. As the sun rises, casting a golden glow upon the cemetery, a sea of American flags unfurls in solemn unity. Each flag serves as a poignant symbol, representing a life lived, a family cherished, and a legacy that echoes through the ages.
From the tiniest of hands clutching miniature flags to the seasoned veterans saluting their comrades, we all participate in the cherished tradition of flag placement on the graves of our fallen soldiers. Together, we bridge the gap between generations and ensure that the memory of these gallant souls endures.
With utmost reverence, we kneel before each marker, reading the names etched in stone and tracing the poignant epitaphs that narrate tales of bravery, resilience, and sacrifice. Our hearts fill with gratitude and sadness, for these brave souls gave their tomorrows for our today.
Many thanks to Ken and Cindy Loudy for representing our chapter at this event.
