Frank Towler: Plans for placing flags in Merced Cemetery

We would like to invite all of our wonderful volunteers to join us again on Saturday to place a cross and flag at the graves of all our veterans at Merced Cemetery. We will meet at 8:30 a.m. in front of the main office for donuts and coffee. Starting at 9 a.m., we will begin placing flags and crosses. Pizza will be served immediately following.

On Monday, May 30, at 10 a.m. in the morning, please join us for our Memorial Day ceremony to honor our fallen heroes. All are welcome! We have a wonderful event planned and will be serving a free lunch to all visitors. We look forward to seeing you there. Contact us at 209 383-4111
