The field of Honor Flags is flying at the Mount Vernon City Cemetery thanks to the work of about 30 volunteers from 10 local civic-minded organizations who provided the labor to raise them Saturday morning.
The field will be in place through May 30, including Memorial Day weekend. If you know or have a family member who was a veteran resting at this site, it’s a great time to visit and honor them.
Organizations that were represented at the Saturday morning raising of the flags were:
The Warrior Spirit Project
American Legion Post 243
Sons of the American Legion Squadron 243
Legion Riders
Guardians of the Children - Sulphur River Chapter
Mount Vernon Fire Department
Mount Vernon Rotary Club
Mount Vernon High School Interact Club
Franklin County Lions Club
Gilmer Lions Club
Also see the MVNow.org calendar for information about another special event on May 16 to honor local veterans.
