Local veteran organizations will once again place American flags on the graves of fallen veteran’s graves in over 18 local cemeteries. Last year over 1,600 American flags decorated veteran’s graves.
The exercise will start at 0800 hours on Saturday, May 27, at the American Legion Hall located at 225 East Holding Avenue, Wake Forest. The building is directly opposite the Wake Forest Post Office.
Everyone is invited to help in this endeavor because of the enormity of the project. Groups will be established and flags distributed to each group depending on the size of the cemetery assigned. This activity is a wonderful opportunity to instill patriotism and honor to those who served in the armed forces of this magnificent country.
