The following is a press release from Nuvision Credit Union.
Nuvision Credit Union continues its commitment to supporting our active military personnel and veterans in Alaska with two special events scheduled over Memorial Day weekend in Anchorage.
Honoring our Heroes Headstone Cleanup – Saturday, May 23th
Nuvision Credit Union is once again partnering with American Legion Jack Henry Post 1 to host our 5th annual Honoring Our Heroes Headstone Clean-Up. The event will take place at Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery on May 23rd (535 E 9th Ave, Anchorage, AK 99501), from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM.
Nuvision Credit Union invites the community to join our volunteers, including active military, veterans and local citizens, in cleaning and maintaining the grave markers of local veterans, ensuring their legacies are honored and remembered with the respect they deserve. We hope to pay tribute to these soldiers by making sure their names are seen and recognized.
Tools will be provided to volunteers, but Nuvision encourages everyone to bring their own tools if they have them.
This event has grown each year since it began four years ago, and now includes over 100 volunteers dedicating their time, and over 2,500 headstones have been cleaned in the first 4 years of the event. With the amazing help of volunteers, this year, Nuvision hopes to expand cleaning veteran headstones in more tracts at the cemetery.
The credit union is asking both its members and the community to come together to make a meaningful difference, as we remember those who served and sacrificed for their country.
Everyone is welcome to bring family or friends, the more volunteers we get, the larger impact we can make!
- The American Legion Auxiliary will be placing American Flags on all Veteran Headstones
- Coffee and snacks will be provided to volunteers during the event
- The event will conclude with a Thank You Reception for all volunteers at American Legion Post 1, 840 W Fireweed Lane.
Those interested in volunteering for the Heroes Headstone Clean-Up can do so by registering here, visiting nuvisionfederal.com, or emailing [email protected].
