VFW Post 6097 Commander Joe Hare was the emcee of the first-ever Memorial Day Service in the new building. In a somber, tearful moment, he related an incident which had been discovered earlier at Haven Hill Cemetery, where someone had taken up and broken the staffs of approximately 100 flags which had been place on Veterans graves there by the Columbia Masonic Lodge and placed in a pile at the entrance to the cemetery. "Somebody is very disrespectful," he said, choking back tears, "It's sad." - EW Comments | Permalink
