Derek W. Cranfill completed his Eagle Scout Project at Hillside Memorial Park. His efforts and that of his volunteer group aided the cemetery in identifying the location of over 1,200 veteran graves. Derek directed and coordinated the volunteer groups that would canvas the entire cemetery grounds looking for branch of service on markers and logging data found on markers via an app.

Jesse completed his Eagle Scout Project at Hillside Memorial Park. Volunteers were guided and directed to repaint some of the cemetery curbs numbers on the north half of the cemetery. These curb numbers serve as identifying features when providing families directions to locate the grave of their loved one. Over 200 curb numbers were repainted and over 120 markers were cleaned. Samuel was one of the 39 volunteers that helped in completing the project scope.
