Y'all might have heard of Cox Tree Service. Chris Cox decided to help keep up our nation's monuments by himself. Yep, he's one of ours. Personally, I kind of love this.
Cox is doing the work that the Park Service rangers would be doing if they weren't furloughed by the government shutdown.
"These are our memorials. Do they think that we're just going to let them go to hell? No," Cox said to the radio station. "If they shut down our memorials, we're still going to take the trash out, we're going to clean the windows, we're going to cut the grass, we're going to pull the weeds, we're going to do the tree work."
Cox told the Washington CBS affiliate that he's not motivated by political reasons, but just wants to keep the memorials tidy as veterans prepare to come to DC for this weekend's Million Vet March.
