Paying Respect To Those Who Have Served Our Country

The Cub Scouts of Gorman, Pac 8, learn about a World War II veteran buried at Oaklawn Cemetery. On Veterans Day, the Cub Scouts brought flags to be placed at the gravesites of servicemen and women. They also placed a penny on the graves they visited which, according to tradition, sends a message to the deceased soldier’s family that someone else has visited the grave to pay respect.
