I may have sent this before but not sure. Our little town
takes care of many area cemeteries for Flag Care and
Vets. Thought it may help someone to know which are in
their care and locations.

McGill at Potwin. They conduct the two services.

I would be happy to lookup the names of any Veteran in these
cemeteries.

The man who was giving me the updates each year, died in 1998.
So my last
update was 1997. Many names have been added since and I will try
to get
update when I can.
