Volunteers show respect for military and community service
It’s not every holiday or weekend that Americans have the opportunity to show appreciation or demonstrate community service, especially when it comes to military veterans. This past Saturday morning, May 27 as the sun graced the lawn of the Corning Cemetery at 8 a.m., resourceful veterans were prepared to tackle the task of placing U.S. flags on veterans’ graves, alone if necessary, in honor of Memorial Day. After all, they’ve had much harder rows to hoe in their years of dutiful service to their country and comrades. The veterans from the Rapert-Poynor Post #8347 were pleasantly surprised to be greeted by 25-30 volunteers to assist them in placing flags on the graves of military service personnel that morning.
