“We are proud to honor our veterans who served and helped to protect and defend our country,” Longview Cemetery Association member Martha Knight said. “We keep a flag posted at each veteran’s grave all year long as a way to say thank you for all they have done and to continue to honor them for many years to come.
“We wish to thank all of those who attended and helped place the wreaths and especially to Alma Horvath, who furnishes the wreaths each year.”
