Conservative political adviser, Emily Domenech, visited the graves of many fallen Americans at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day to pay tribute to them.
With the pandemic causing a restriction on everything in the country, friends and loved ones were not permitted into the famous cemetery along the Potomac River unless they were directly related to a fallen soldier buried there.
So Domenech took to Twitter on Memorial Day, offering to visit grave-sites on behalf of the friends who couldn’t be there in person this year.
@NonsenseEnd thank you for introducing me to this hero and POW. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/UIhMLoigIQ

Her tweet which has been liked more than 40,000 times and retweeted nearly 10,000 times, Domenech wrote, “Does anyone have buddies buried in Arlington who they would like visited today? Since only family members are allowed in, I would be honored to pay respects on your behalf.”
I need to take a little break, but will return later today (hopefully with more flowers). If I haven’t replied to your request (with location!) with a photo at this point PLEASE DM ME the location of your loved one and I will visit this afternoon 🇺🇸

She enlisted the help of her mom and dad, who came to Arlington National Cemetery to help take photos for the last hour.
Even though everything we have known has been disrupted, but we are forever grateful for the sacrifices of the servicemen and women who have given their lives for our nation’s founding.
