The Riverside Cemetery has launched a new effort to ensure that our nation's fallen veterans are never forgotten.
The cemetery recently started the War Memorial Preservation Project fundraiser.
Service members from all of the nation's wars are buried throughout the cemetery. There are also distinct memorial areas for the Civil War, World War I and World War II.
The cemetery wants to restore the graves in the memorial areas so that the names and dates can be readable once again. There's also a plan to replace the crumbling base on the Flanders Field memorial.
