Legion seeks help to ID graves of veterans
For Memorial Day the American Legion places flags on the graves of our Veterans, unfortunately we miss many because we are unaware the grave is that of a Veteran. In an effort to correct this the Vinton American Legion is working with the Benton County VA Director, Toni Parzek, to get grave markers for those Veterans whose head stone does not reference their service in our armed forces but first we need to get an idea of how many we will need.
