Woodlawn High School outdid themselves this year. On Thursday, they sent approximately 60 kids to help place flags on every Veteran’s grave. It took them less than an hour and a half to place almost 1,100 flags across almost 20 acres.
The school has been so generous for years, sending young, helping hands to help honor our Veterans. We cannot thank the school and the kids enough.

We have a funeral scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Some markers in the Last Supper garden may be inaccessible until we are able to complete the burial. Please reach out if you are unable to place your flowers due to this and we will help.
