Four more cemeteries are on the Memo- rial Day schedule following Walnut Hills. Post Command- er Chris Kinman asks that res- idents "take a few minutes on the Memorial Day holiday to visit the grave of a veteran, family or friend. It is a way to show gratitude to the one who paid the ultimate price for our freedom." U.S. flags on poles should be flown at half mast Memo- rial Day morning and then raised to the top of the pole at noon. Members of Peters- burg VFW Post 3587 cordially invite the public to attend the VFW Memorial Day salute at any of the locations where ob- servances are being conduct- ed. Grave site flags are avail- able at the 1202 East Main Street VFW Post 3587 build- ing. Individuals and organi- zations can pick up flags for placement on veterans graves at 1202 E Main St. A cemetery custodian can draw the proper number of flags for each use. If veterans are buried in a fam- ily or non-custodial cemetery, then an individual is invited to draw the flags for this use. It is requested that custodi- ans and individuals retrieve the flags after Memorial Day and save them for future use.
