"OLD" CALHOUN SOLDIERS LIFTED OLD GLORY - Who Will Honor Then Now? |
| (12/22/2024) |
| In Calhoun County, the past 25 years, soldiers from World War II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars dutifully erected flagpoles and flags in dozens of Calhoun and regional county cemeteries, mostly by the VFW Post in Grantsville. Calhoun had among the highest number of soldiers proportionately serving in World War II. Most of those old soldiers are now deceased, with few remaining to take up the task of honoring Old Glory. Now, the local VFW has closed. Here are but a few of many events lifting the flag by the VFW: A NEW OLD GLORY FLIES AT CALHOUN MIDDLE SCHOOL KIGHT CEMETERY GETS ITS FLAG - Honoring America's Veterans VFW POST CONTINUES FLAG MISSION GIANT AMERICAN FLAG LIFTED AT CALHOUN COURTHOUSE FLAG DAY - VFW Lifts Flag Honoring Albert Gale Tanner THE FLAG GOES BY - A Selection from the Recitation Bench SPECIAL 'OLD GLORY' RAISED AT GRANTSVILLE VFW POST REMEMBERING CALHOUN SOLDIERS - Sturm Cemetery Gets A Flag FLAG DEDICATED TO HERB SMITH AT COUNTY PARK FLAG RAISING DAY ON HENRY'S FORK - VFW Post Honors Soldiers A FLAG NOW FLIES OVER LONG-GONE RICHARDSON SHOCK CEMETERY GETS ITS' OLD GLORY OLD GLORY FLIES OVER LYNCH CEMETERY - George Lynch, Jr. Remembered ... and many more in Hur Herald archives.
