We take this opportunity to honor those who have given their all in defense of our country.  And, we recognize the contributions and sacrifices made by their families.

 

Veterans, assisted by local Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and other volunteers place American flags at all veterans’ graves in the Auburn cemeteries.
