Memorial Day is next week and the American Legion has several activities scheduled. American Legion Post 168 Commander Curt Froyen spoke with KNIA/KRLS News about their activities next week.

“On May 24 at 9:00 am we will be putting up 1,200 grave marker flags for all of the veterans.  Then, on May 26 at 7:00 am, we will be putting up the Avenue of Flags at Graceland Cemetery. After we are done with that, we will have a brief ceremony honoring our veterans. We will be taking down the flags on May 31 at 3:00 pm. 

Members of the community are welcome to help the American Legion with any of these activities.
