On Saturday, May 29, the day before Memorial Day, every one in Wake Forest and the surrounding area are invited to join members of the Wake Forest American Legion to place American flags on the graves of American war veterans in 17 area cemeteries.
That is a big job, and they can use all the help you can give.
To do so, meet with them from 8 to 9 a.m. Saturday – the Legion post is at 225 East Holding Avenue in Wake Forest across from the U.S. Post Office. You will be given directions to the cemetery or cemeteries where you can decorate the graves. The Legionnaires also will have maps or descriptions of the locations of the graves.
You might want to bring along your children to help them understand why we mark Memorial Day with reverence.
