In May 1992, a new and unique tradition began at the Diamond Crest Cemetery conducted by the local American Legion Post. It started slowly with veteran families donating the American Flag that was presented to them upon their relatives passing. Of a personal note, both my uncle and father, James and Leroy Purdy were veterans, and I donated their flags to this worthy cause. Today, there are now more than 300 flags. 

The flags are flown at Diamond Crest Cemetery on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Flags are on display from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00p.m., weather permitting. It is an impressive sight to behold.
