Project Valor is an effort from Heroes Vodka to ensure Nashville National Cemetery reflects the respect those heroes deserve and it's happening right now.
Volunteers gathered at Nashville National Cemetery on Wednesday ahead of Memorial Day.
The event began at 9 a.m. with community members coming together to clean gravesites and place flowers throughout the cemetery.
