Flag Bank and Memorial Day Ceremonies Highlight Carbondale Service
In Carbondale the Memorial Day observance centers on a newly created National flag bank started by the Carbondale Memorial Day Association to honor veteran flags. The dedication at Woodlawn Cemetery will mark the centennial Memorial Day with Gen. Koch and John Allen leading the effort and Capt. Ernest C. Klein to speak at the service. The event also notes that flags may be donated at City Hall and that plans include a flag bank chapel in Woodlawn Cemetery.
