Just wondering what the people here Counties do for Memorial Day. Here in Cottle County, a group of us get together every year and hammer down the crosses of all the deceased Veterans from Cottle County. It was sad, we added 25 more this year. On Memorial Day all the Veterans and anyone else that want to show up meet that morning for free coffee and donuts and then we have a Memorial Day event where several speak and also they read the names of the Deceased Veterans from the prior year. Then we sing the National Anthem, have Prayer, and lower the Flag. All the names of the Deceased Veterans are on the crosses.

i like that

awesome....

wow, thats pretty cool, hope some folks realize the "why"..

Thanks all. Without the the Soldier we wouldnt be talking here.

Now that is nice!

Wow, that is really something special. I wish more counties did that.

That is great. I don't know if I have seen anyone else do that.

Any and all are welcome. We will have free coffee and doughnuts on the east side of the Courthouse Monday morning at 8:30 Then we will have the Ceremony. If you dont know where I am, look for the one Lowering the Flag. I will be one of them. Hope to see you there if any want to see a great service.

Well I believe that is just to awesome! Thanks very Much for doing something like that!

Thank goodness small town America is still alive!

Thank you for sharing. jime
