The Honor Project needs more volunteers to help.
Back then, COVID rules at Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day restricted visitors to family members with a special pass. While visiting her grandfather, Col. John Domenech, who died in 2006, Domenech had an idea.
"After hundreds, then thousands of responses, it became so clear that there was a huge need and desire to honor fallen people," Domenech, a stepmother of three, tells."Families from all around the world said things like, 'My grandfather or uncle is buried there and I can’t travel from Kansas.'" "I ate or drank, although my parents, whose barbecue I wound up skipping that day, brought me a sandwich and spent three hours helping me visit more graves, take photos and reply to tweets," says Domenech.
"It's important to acknowledge why this weekend exists ... no one wants their loved one's name and story to die.""He was the only member of this patrol that day who did not survive," Manion tells TODAY.com."He received a Silver Star for bravery."
