The Search Movement of Moldova organized an event to improve and green the grounds of the military cemetery at the "Șerpeni Bridgehead" memorial complex.
Search volunteers planted maple and oak saplings in memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War who fell in the liberation of Moldova from fascism.
The event was timed to coincide with the Day of the Unknown Soldier.
The military cemetery in Șerpeni is the only military cemetery in the Republic of Moldova where ceremonies for reburial of Soviet soldiers discovered during search expeditions are conducted.
Over 11 years, more than 400 soldiers and officers of the Red Army have been laid to rest there.
