What brought you out to clean up the cemetery?
The Los Angeles Torchbearers hosted its summer Evergreen Cemetery Cleanup in East Los Angeles on September 13, 2025. This popular community service activity brings together high school and college students and GFBNEC supporters to weed, wash and place American flags and potted plants by each of the 60 WWII Nisei veterans interred near the Sadao Munemori memorial. Thanks to the recent Cal State Long Beach grads and Maranatha and Gabrielino High School students for volunteering their morning, and to San Gabriel Nursery for the continued donation of the potted plants! Thanks also to Carol Shimazaki for sharing her photos.
