Volunteers

*The Volunteers*

After the site was secured, volunteers began to arrive from all over Fairfax County. However what was remarkable, was the spontaneous outpouring of support from the community. All throughout the day parents and children interacted with volunteers and professional's. The on-site anthropologist and archaeologist easily became part of the community spirit while still doing an outstanding job of maintaining site integrity.

But the best part was how the children wanted to know so much more. Who were these men they asked? Why where they fighting? How could we tell how old they were? How did they die? The questions and lively conversations could be heard all day long -- for three days. This was the best possible salute the community could ever give these fallen hero's... the wide and inquisitive eyes of the children said it all.
