Everyone enjoyed a good service Sunday morning, especially to honor and celebrate the lives of our veterans, those who have served and those serving. The flags were an indication of the many we have in our cemetery from all wars and we appreciate the protection they have afforded those of us who have lived to enjoy it. God bless each of them.
