Volunteers Needed to Help Replace Flags

The Salem Veterans Association announces a program to replace worn flags and damaged markers on graves of Salem’s veterans. They are looking for volunteers to help with this program.

“Between now and Memorial Day,” said Douglas Micklon, Association President, “replacements will be phased in. This means that some graves will temporarily be without flags and markers.” The Salem Veterans Association urges patience by loved ones who find graves without flags and markers during this phase-in period. The project will be completed prior to Memorial Day. Any group or individual interested in volunteering for this project should call Doug Micklon at 783-1038.

The clean- up efforts will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Field of Dreams, Geremonty Drive, Salem.

This is a great opportunity to get some fresh air and work alongside your fellow Salem residents. Bring rakes, tarps, gloves, and leaf blowers if you have them, but most importantly, bring friends and family. Any amount of time you can give would be greatly appreciated. Free snacks and drinks will be available throughout the day and pizza at 12:30 p.m. for all our volunteers. Want to get involved or make a donation? Call Ross Trecartin at 233-4455.
