Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, MAy 19, 2023 Everett residents, elected offi cials, members of the Everett Police and Fire Departments, members of the Everett High School Band, City workers and community members joined together to place U.S. fl ags on the graves of veterans at Woodlawn Cemetery. MEMORIAL DAY | FROM PAGE 1 two separate days to ensure the entire cemetery was covered. However, thanks to the overwhelming number of volunteers who participated, the second day wasn’t necessary. Thanks to the support of everyone who volunteered, 5,000 U.S. fl ags were placed on the graves of veterans between both Woodlawn and Glenwood Cemeteries. Many of those who participated had a family member or loved one who served in our armed forces who has now passed and rests in these cemeteries, which made placing the flags much more important for them. “Our community showed how strong their giving spirit is and the high level of respect they have for our veterans by showing up in droves to help and complete the task early,” said Mayor DeMaria. “Thank you to all that came out and helped honor those veterans who are no longer with us. May they rest in eternal peace.” Mayor Carlo DeMaria and the City of Everett would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time to place fl ags at Woodlawn and Glenwood Cemeteries in honor of our veterans. All are invited to join us for the annual Memorial Day Service on Monday, May 29, beginning at 10 a.m. at Glenwood Cemetery (the entrance is located on Washington Avenue). More information will be available soon on the City of MEMORIAL DAY | SEE PAGE 9 Everett police and fi re personnel volunteered to place U.S. fl ags on the graves of veterans at Woodlawn Cemetery this past week.
