The South Carolinian was spotted, on Wednesday, mowing the Lincoln Memorial's lawn and was ordered to stop, by police.
According to Cox, he has spent the last several days cleaning up the area around the memorial.
He took it upon himself to rake up leaves, clear a broken branch, empty trash cans, and now mow using his own supplies and equipment he purchased for the job.
Cox said he feels it is his duty to ensure that the monument is kept clean and that it would be a disgrace if the area slowly was covered with trash and unkempt growth.
His hopes are that other Americans will follow his example and take up the jobs of cleaning up other memorials, in DC and across the country.
