tomb of the unknown soldier renovation
DESCRIPTION
A proposal to renovate the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (TOTUS) in Bremerton, Washington's Ivy Green Cemetery was started by a group of residents in Bremerton who noticed the lack of maintenance, care, and upkeep at this memorial and came together to improve this site. The project began in the Spring of 2012 with the goal to raise funds, donated materials, and labor to renovate the memorial in honor of the many unknown men and women who have given the ultimate.TRANSCRIPT

The current memorial site has sidewalks that do not
make a connection to the road, are not level, and the
background behind the tomb is local homes and a

Project
Background The effort to renovate the
existing Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier was first
initiated in the Spring of
2012 and organized by
Bremerton resident Todd
Best, to inspire local
residents and businesses
of Bremerton, Washington
to come together and
renovate the memorial.
Until Todd took action and
gathered together the
community around this
project, the memorial was
constantly overgrown with
weeds, was dirty, and
lacked any sense of honor
due to a lack of
maintenance.
