As head of the post-war veteran's organization he issued General Orders No. 11, establishing May 30 as “Decoration Day,” a day to set aside for decorating veterans’ graves. This later became a national holiday called Memorial Day. In 1889, a little over three acres was set aside for the initial Army post’s cemetery and the first recorded burial was Mable Peterkin, daughter of Private Peterkin, Company F, 18th Infantry. In 1950, Congress authorized the use of military lands at Fort Logan as a National Cemetery, consisting of 214 acres. Floral Policy for Fort Logan National Cemetery:

🌳 Gratitude from Fort Logan National Cemetery 🌳

This past Wednesday, September 16, we had the honor of hosting Saluting Branches for their annual Day of Service at Fort Logan National Cemetery. This meaningful event brings volunteers from across the country together to care for veteran-dedicated properties through tree planting, landscape maintenance, and grounds care.

We are incredibly proud to share that over 500 dedicated volunteers committed 7 hours of their time to honor our veterans. Your acts of service—planting 92 new trees, removing 32 medium-to-large trees, pruning over 100 trees, grinding 10 stumps, and re-mulching more than 100 previously planted trees—were carried out with deep purpose and compassion. Each effort reminds us of the importance of honoring those who served and ensuring their final resting places are maintained with dignity and care.

🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Volunteers 🌟

This past Saturday, September 12, Fort Logan National Cemetery proudly hosted volunteers for Carry The Load’s National Day of Service and Remembrance, commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

Thanks to the dedication and compassion of everyone who participated—including the many volunteers from NCCC—we spent the morning honoring our Veterans through meaningful acts of service—including cleaning headstones, removing weeds and trash, and caring for our Veterans’ final resting places. Each effort was driven by purpose and reverence, reminding us of the importance of honoring those who served. Your unwavering commitment has made a profound difference in preserving the legacy of our Veterans and their final resting places.

We are also grateful for the coverage from 9news, which beautifully showcased the incredible work and unity demonstrated throughout the day.

We invite families and friends to honor Veterans’ legacies and share their stories through the Veteran Legacy Memorial (VLM). This dedicated online platform provides a meaningful space to leave tributes, share memories, and help preserve their stories for generations to come. Learn more at https://www.vlm.cem.va.gov/.

To all our volunteers—your hard work and dedication truly made a difference. We are deeply thankful for your service and support.

Twenty-five years later, we still remember. We still honor. And we still serve.

🇺🇸 **We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.**

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001—a day that forever changed our nation.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families and loved ones left behind, and the first responders, firefighters, law enforcement officers, military members, and ordinary Americans who showed extraordinary courage and compassion in the face of tragedy.

Twenty-five years later, their stories and sacrifices remain part of our nation’s history. We honor those who were lost, those who served, and those who continue to carry the weight of that day.

Take a moment of silence as we never forget their lives, their courage, or the unity and strength that emerged from one of our nation's darkest days.

**September 11, 2001 — We Remember. 🇺🇸**
