Thanks to all who came out to St Anthony Cemetery this morning! If you have a chance, stop by and pay your respects to a veteran. Their graves, at both Harper cemeteries, are marked with a US flag.

Memorial Day is approaching, a day set aside to recognize and honor the deceased veterans of the military who served their country. The Harper American Legion Post 650 does so by placing flags on the graves in our two Harper cemeteries. The Harper branch of Catholic Life Insurance assists with this at St Anthony's Catholic Cemetery, honoring the 62 veterans at rest here.
We have volunteers ready to serve again, and it is usually done in less than 30 minutes. If you would like to join us this year, please call or text Mark Schumpelt at 830-342-1234. The flags will be placed on Thursday or Friday, May 21 or 22, then will be picked up the Tuesday or Wednesday after Memorial Day,
