The group has six more cemeteries to visit, including an event on Veterans Day.

Ron Haselman and his grandchildren spent their Sunday morning at a cemetery cleaning the headstone of a veteran who was buried hundreds of years ago, attempting to make out the name carved into the aging marker.

The plot is estimated to date back to the 1700s and after two hours of cleaning the aging headstone, they could only make out the fallen veteran’s first name — Joseph. But, thanks to their hard work, the long-lost soldier was no longer anonymous.
