Memorial Day
Lovilia Legion members honored veterans at St. Peter’s and Woodlawn cemeteries. To be coordinated in dress they all had matching white ball caps with the Legion emblem sewed on the front. The hats were sewn and his time donated by David Kurimski of Lovilia. Thanks to David for helping in this way to honor the veterans. May all the service men and women rest in peace. We owe them our freedom. Thank you for your sacrifices.
