Continued Giving: VFW Post 6937 Members Clean Veteran Graves Inside MCNP as Volunteer Project

Members of VFW Post 6937 clean graves inside MCNP in May, 2025.
Darren Doyle, story:
Our local veterans once again continue to give back in unique ways. A recent volunteer project helped result in many cleaned and refurbished veteran graves that had been neglected for many years.

According to Floyd Houston, member of VFW Post 6937, a conversation was had earlier this year about seeing random March lilies are often in places of old homesteads and lives of the past.

It was discussed how prevalent this was in Mammoth Cave National Park and how the lilies also marked grave sites.

The care of many of those graves has either become much less frequent, or some even abandoned after they became part of the park in 1941, Houston said.

"This year our Post, as part of a VFW nationwide day of service, cleaned 35-40 veteran graves inside the Park," Houston said, which included those located at Joppa Church, Jasper Church, Mammoth Cave Baptist, and one small unmarked graveyard. 

Participating members were Wil Cannon, Freemen Ramey, Gerald Carroll, Randall Wilson, and Post Commander Edwin Vincent. 

"The VFW is our nation’s largest organization of combat veterans, chartered by Congress to remember our fallen, take care of the survivors, and do good works in the communities," Houston stated. "Here in Edmonson, our Post is known for its work performing veteran burial honors, flag training in the schools, and other patriotic activities.  We meet on the third Monday of the month at 6:30 pm in the library."
