More than 250 flags were raised yesterday at Knoxville’s Graceland Cemetery in honor of Marion County Veterans.
A memorial tribute to veterans with a 21 gun salute and the playing of taps followed the raising. Mike Kuhn with Marion County Veterans Affairs says the flag raising is a small way to honor veterans who believed so strongly in freedom and the American way of life, they gave their lives so we could experience it. Kuhn wants to thank all those who helped to make the raising possible.
