A Flag flying for every fallen veteran

One man in Juneau County has started a project to make sure an American Flag flies at all cemeteries where a Veteran rests.  See this story from the Juneau County Star Times and then visit his Facebook Page if you'd like to help.
In May, a Vietnam War veteran found a disturbing sight that spurred him to action.

While visiting the Marion Town Cemetery on old Highway 71 between state Highway 82 and 26th Avenue near Mauston, Russell LaMarche, 65, noticed that the pole holding the American flag had snapped in half and the flag was torn and lying on the ground.

“I removed the flag for proper retirement,” LaMarche said. “It really aggravated me that veterans were buried there and no flag was flying in honor of all of those who served. There is a veteran named Rubin Rounds of the War of 1812, and Civil War veterans buried there.”
