2. Memorial Day Casket Flags
Every year on Memorial Day at the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Lebanon the American Legion flies the casket flags of soldiers from Lebanon who gave their lives for our country. Each flag has a bronze name plate on the flag pole with the soldiers' full name printed on it. Currently Douglas Ulm is the only soldier out of the eight that has a flag that flies. Mostly due to weather damage, the flags had to be properly burned. As a result of our program, two other flags have been purchased. Jim Salisburys and Lonnie Moores. We really want to get the rest of the soldiers flag! They cost 60 dollars in all for the flag and the bronze name plate.
