Vets for Vets funded the grant to purchase the lights, The Home Depot Foundation sponsored the project, and the Legion Post, Andy Renkes, and Friends of Grove Hill Cemetery coordinated and guided this meaningful project. In less than two hours, over 1,100 solar lights were placed on veterans’ graves by Rotary members and many others from the community.
“The end result is just stunning. What an honor to recognize our Morrison Vets who served our country!” said Rotarian Mick Welding. Rotarian Nate Jacobs had the privilege of placing a light on his grandpa’s grave.

It is breathtaking.
Morrison was well represented by participation in the military through the years.
Thanks to all who participated, a great tribute to our local vets.
