For nearly 250 years, the United States has been celebrating its independence. On July 4th, speeches and ceremonies are held across the nation.
Across the country, people crowd cities for parades and festivals. Streets are decked out in red, white and blue bunting and flags. Children of all ages will take delight in the sparkling colors that dance across the sky.
We hope that you will take a moment to remember and thank all those who have fought to keep this country and others free.
Today, Justin from local Boy Scout Troop 141 conducted his Eagle Scout project at Columbia Gardens. He organized a team of volunteers to take photos of markers and headstones for Billiongraves.com. Justin focused their efforts in Sections I (eye) and P. In the past, we have had other scouts from Troop 141 who have done similar projects in Sections E, F, G, and H.
The purpose of this project is to assist people in finding their ancestral burial sites. While taking photos, volunteers trimmed away bushes to expose headstones and brushed away soil to expose markers. Justin will now take the summer to transcribe the information on the headstones and markers and upload the information to Billiongraves. He will also share this information with Columbia Gardens for our own internal database.
Columbia Gardens found some outstanding Arlington youth through this year's Arlington County Teen Summer Expo. They have named themselves the "Dew Crew," a bit of a play on words, and are working hard around the property.
