Soldiers from the 128th Aviation Brigade, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, organize prior to cleaning and maintaining Elmerton and Bassett cemeteries in Hampton, Virginia, July 8, 2023. The community relations event is a reoccurring one with the Barrett-Peake Heritage Foundation’s restoration project. These cemeteries are predominately occupied by African Americans, and are two of the oldest in Hampton Roads, including service members as far back as World War I.
