It's the VA's honor to show respect and care to those buried at Fort Custer National Cemetery, but Fort Custer is asking for your help. Volunteers will be needed for wreath laying at Noon, with volunteers needing to arrive at the big flagpole by 11:30 a.m. for instructions.
Anyone willing to bring brooms, scrapers, or anything to gently remove snow from markers would be greatly appreciated
