On Veteran’s Day, we reflect on freedom and the price that
has been paid for that freedom. During the summer, a beautiful new monument was
erected in Fairlawn Cemetery in Scio in honor of the local veterans who have
served our country throughout the years.
The Fairlawn Cemetery Association invites you to join us on
Monday, November 12 at 11:00 a.m. at the site of the new monument. As we gather
in Fairlawn Cemetery, ceremonies will be performed to dedicate the monument
that honors our veterans.
Mark your calendar, Monday, November 12 at 11:00 a.m. at
Fairlawn Cemetery, State Route 19, Scio.
Contributions are still being sought to finish paying for
the accessories at the monument site and additional funds gathered will be used
to defray the costs of cleaning veteran’s headstones.
Contributions can be sent to the Fairlawn Cemetery Association.
There is also a gofundme page. Area veterans will be participating as well as
local high school students.
