The Arlington National Cemetery Service Project represents one of the most meaningful ways NAFCA gives back. This effort is about more than installing fences or completing a project—it’s about honoring sacrifice, preserving dignity, and serving a place that holds deep national significance.
Through this project, NAFCA members come together to use their skills in service of something greater than themselves. It’s a reminder that craftsmanship, when paired with purpose, can help maintain the spaces that honor those who gave everything for our country.
By participating in the Arlington service projects, the fence industry demonstrates respect, gratitude, and a shared commitment to giving back—quietly, humbly, and with intention. This is service at its highest level, and it reflects the heart of what NAFCA stands for.
