Veterans remembered in restored Historic African-American Spring Park cemetery

It was a very special Veterans Day for families with loved ones laid to rest in a once-forgotten cemetery at St. Nicolas Bethel Baptist Church in Spring Park. Just three years ago, the graves of nine veterans and more than 40 civilians were buried beneath thick trees, overgrown brush and piles of debris. On Tuesday, that same cemetery stands as a sacred, historically recognized site — thanks, in large part, to one Army veteran who refused to let their memory fade.
