Et cetera : 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. If you know of any Veteran that is buried in the Evergreen, Maplewood or St Mary's Cemetery please send me their names and which cemetery they are buried in to:
