"Operation Flags for Vets" will again be placing flags on the graves
at the Massachusetts National Veterans Cemetery for Veterans Day, November 11th. The National Cemetery is just off of the Otis
Rotary on Route 28 in Bourne.
They are looking for volunteers to help with this worthy and solemn endeavor. People of all ages are welcomed to help in the placement of the 57,000 flags on our veterans' final resting places.
A short ceremony will be held at the flagpole at the end of the
Avenue of Flags at 10 AM followed by the actual placement of the flags. If you can help, please bring a long-shanked screwdriver with you to aid in making starter holes for the flags. Also, please do not begin planting flags before the end of the ceremony. Flag removal
will take place on Sunday, November 16 at 10 AM.
