I recently viewed via video and read a story posted by KOCO of Oklahoma.  The story was an incredibly heartwarming one of a segregated  cemetery in Logan County, Oklahoma, where a fence separated the sides which had Caucasions buried on one side of the fence and African Americans buried on the other side.

The group, Honoring American Veterans, came together to clean brush and spruce up the cemetery.   What happened when these people got together and discovered the fence in among all of the weds and brush is the real story, however.  Watch the video.  .watch the fence come tumbling down, and watch the reaction of many of the people.  To them, this fence coming down was more than just a fence.

At the end of the day it was also discovered that in a cemetery that held the remains of many of America’s veterans no American flag was present.  The group also found a solution to that and was able to decorate each and every veteran’s marker.

Watch the video — and then brainstorm on what your funeral home  can do in your community to try and get people to come together for a single purpose — because when they do — it can be powerful.[wpforms id=”436″ title=”true” description=”true”]
