American Legion Post 514 in Tri-Town area to lead Memorial Day services at several cemeteries

Posted

WINTHROP – The American Legion Post 514 which covers the Tri-Town area will lead Memorial Day services at several cemeteries.

Post 514 is one of several veterans organizations in the northern St. Lawrence County region staging parades, wreath layings, salutes and tributes to fallen service members.

Post 514 will start with a service at the Winthrop cemetery at 9 a.m., then Fairview at 9:20. Legionnaires plan to proceed from Fairview to Veteran’s Park in Lawrenceville around 10, St. Lawrence cemetery at 10:20, St. Patrick’s at 11 a.m., LBSH senior housing at 11:30, down Main Street Bridge in Brasher Falls at noon, and then finally convene at the post.

All times are approximate.

Again this year the South Glengary Pipes and Drums from Canada, will participate at all the ceremonies.

The Post asks that if you have a deceased loved one who rests in one of these cemeteries, who is not on their roster for flag placement, to call the Legion at 315-389-9102 and leave a message with their name, rank, and branch of service, era, and cemetery.

Free grave marker flags are available at Post 514.
