VFW / Flag Laying at Lakeview Cemetary
Saturday, November 29 2025
On 11/29 we will honor Veterans at Lakeview Cemetery by placing wreaths on their graves. Our guide will start instructions at 8, so please be there by 7:45. We will meet at the lower Veterans’ section (Section M), just to the right after you enter from Main Street and cross the bridge. We’ll begin with remarks from the Commander of the VFW Post 653, Mike McGlinn, then hear instructions on how to properly and respectfully place the wreaths, as well as receive the section maps and lists of Veterans. You can enter through the Main Entrance on Main Street. You must park on the left in the parking lot by the cemetery office, soon after the entrance, over the bridge and first left. We are asked not to park on any grass areas of the cemetery and especially not disturb the grass areas around the gravestones. SLOBS will have 3-4 teams of 5-7.
If we fill the # of volunteers and you would like to participate, contact Kathy (203-291-9635) or James (203-858-7861) Bakal with any questions. Thanks.
