Henryetta Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 539 members and auxiliary as well at the American Legion will host the annual Memorial Day Service at Westlawn Cemetery in Henryetta on Monday, May 27 at 10 a.m.

All of the military service men and women who have fought and perished will be honored during the service.

In preparation for Monday, the VFW and American Legion placed over 2,500 flags on veterans graves at Westlawn, Salem, New Sonora, Hitchita, Salt Creek (Wilson) and Whitey Pangle (Pharoah) cemeteries.

Yesterday, flags were placed along Main Street. “Because of the generous support of the community during our recent flag drive,” VFW Post 530 Commander Bill Goodner said, “we hope to leave the flags displayed along Main Street permanently.”
