In the lead-up to Memorial Day on Monday, American Legion Kingdom Post 210 started placing flags on veterans' graves Tuesday, not only at Callaway Memorial Gardens but also at Southside and Hillcrest cemeteries in Fulton.
David Beaver, post commander, estimated he would place close to 700 flags on veterans' graves.
If a veteran's grave has been overlooked, or rural cemeteries in Callaway County would like flags for their buried veterans, contact Beaver at 573-642-5479 or Allan Nelson at 573-642-8360.
