Volunteers Sought to Clean, Mark Veterans' Graves



Blogger's Note: The following was provided by The Hill School.

The sister of a fallen Navy SEAL from Pottstown is organizing a clean up and flag placement at veterans' graves in Edgewood Cemetery on Saturday, Nov,. 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Job Price was a U.S. Navy SEAL Commander until his death during his service to our country in December 2012.

Price was a graduate of Pottstown High School.

Bronwyn DeMaso, Job's sister, is orchestrating this effort.

Volunteers can help out for as long as they would like between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9 at Edgewood Cemetery, where volunteers will clean up and place flags at Veterans' graves as part of this project sponsored by the Travis Manion Foundation which, in part, supports community service endeavors across the country.

TMF was created by Col. Thomas Manion USMC (Ret.), a 1973 graduate of The Hill School whose son, Travis, died while serving our country.

As noted on the Foundation website, Travis’ values and valor, certainly like Job’s, could be defined by the phrase, “If not me, than who?”

During Thomas' time at The Hill, he played cross under Coach Harry Price, Job Price's father, who spent many years serving the Borough of Pottstown and Pottstown School District in a variety of volunteer roles.

REGISTER HERE: http://bit.ly/34ecA4c. There is no fee to participate but donations to TMF are welcomed at the site.

Edgewood Cemetery is located at 989 E. High St., Pottstown. Volunteers are asked to bring gloves and gardening tools if possible.
