The committee says it aims to serve and volunteer for grand causes across the city of Houston and beyond.

"We're here to fill in the gaps where needed, so this is one of our events that we do annually," Antonio Acosta with the Houston Millenials' Community Service Committee said. "That's all we were really trying to do; see where we can help out the veterans and go from there."

Each volunteer placed flags at the gravesites and spoke the name of the fallen as they thanked them for their service.
