Residents of the Mount Pulaski
area celebrated Memorial Day with three events in honor of our veterans.
From Steenbergen Cemetery, to Vonderleith Living Center and the
Mount
Pulaski American Legion home, those gathered gave of their time to
say thanks to all those who have served our country. Another picture
from Mount Pulaski is in today's Community section.

Each flag flying in Steenbergen Cemetery is
marked with a number. Each number refers to a specific interred
veteran of the U.S. military, dating back to the
Revolutionary War. A list of these numbers is provided each year.
