The tradition of placing the American Flag on the graves to honor the veterans buried in Door County and around the country will continue this week before Memorial Day. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 3088 will canvas Sturgeon Bay area cemeteries this Friday and put out over 1,400 flags on grave sites, according to Post Quartermaster Bill Graf.
Anyone willing to help the VFW out on Friday should meet at the Bayside Cemetery chapel at 9 AM. Pizza lunch at the VFW clubhouse will be provided at noon for volunteers.
