Service opportunity - Zachary's Eagle Scout project

Hi,

I am looking for volunteers for my Eagle Project on Saturday, 13 August at 9:00am at Alexandria National Cemetery:

1450 Wilkes St, Alexandria, VA 22314

We will be using personal cell phones to take photos of headstones, transcribe them, and then upload them to a website for easy public access.

This is a great opportunity to digitally memorialize our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.

The school year is rapidly approaching and this is a great way to honor our Nation's heroes and get those service hours you need for your next rank or for school.

But I don't have a cell phone, I am low on data, or my parents refuse to take me anywhere before noon on Saturdays? NO PROBLEM! I have multiple jobs for those that don't have a cell phone, I'll have a WIFI hotspot setup for those low on data, and I have volunteer drivers for those that need a ride to/from site.

Please RSVP at my projects link:https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904084FA8AA2DAAF94-zachary

Thank you for volunteering!

Zachary
