The Brief

The Veterans Day ceremony at DFW National Cemetery has been canceled due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.

Organizers say government closures restricted access to key equipment and supplies needed for the event.

Volunteers like Alysia Bullock say they’ll still find ways to honor veterans, urging others to show gratitude despite the cancellation.
