UBB.threads Forums General Militaria United States Militaria Memorial Day Display

I was asked to set up a display with some friends at the Wisconsin Memorial Park cemetery for Memorial day. Driving through the cemetery grounds was very moving as they display hundreds and hundreds of US Veteran casket flags. each one is numbered, and named to an individual, and every year they are put out in the same spot so the family can find it.

I set up a display of WWII Woman's Service items (sadly I only had a 6' table, I could have filled all of them...) and my friend did some of his CW guns, and a 32nd Division Aussie made tunic in tribute to our recently departed friend and well known advanced medal collector Bruce Cazel ( who used to do this display with them)

It was very rewarding talking to many veterans and their families. You could tell our efforts were appreciated.

It was very moving as they put out hundreds of US veteran Casket flags on poles. each one is numbered to a specific veteran, and goes in the same place every year.

Very nice Jerry, well done.

I have been doing this kind of display for years now at the Los Osos CA Memorial and Veterans Day event with the San Luis Obispo Historical Arms Society. We have other members who do display's at other local venues too. I look forward each time doing this.
