Many hours are spent by Commander John E. Taets, Legion members, and Hume Happy Hustlers 4-H Club members to get the Tampico Memorial Cemetery and St. Mary’s Cemetery ready for Memorial Day services. Their efforts include putting up an “Avenue of Flags” at both cemeteries.
Volunteers willing to help place flags at the cemeteries can meet at the Tampico Village garage on East 4th Street at 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 25. “There is much work to be done,” says Legion member Terry Gaskill of getting the Avenue of Flags ready. He credited the 4-H members, under the direction of Gordon Helm, for helping the Legion do the work and “keeping it going.”
Memorial Day services will start at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 27 at St. Mary’s Cemetery, followed by a service at the Memorial Cemetery, both provided by Tampico American Legion Post #574. Everyone is invited to attend and honor our Veterans.
