ADOPT A VERTERAN'S GRAVE AT WALNUT HILL CEMETERY.
Many veterans laid to rest at our local cemetery no longer have family or friends to decorate or place a flag on their graves.
At last count there are over 930 Veterans buried at Walnut Hill. They each made sacrifices for us. They deserve our thanks and should be remembered.

Would you adopt a grave? To make sure these Veterans have a flag and a decoration on Memorial Day and possibly Veterans Day.

During this time of Memorial Day celebration, please consider donating to the Walnut Hill cemetery. Many of us have family members at Walnut Hill and someday will most likely be there ourselves. The cost of maintaining this facility has gone up a great deal in recent years.
Donations or questions about how you can help may be directed to City Hall in Petersburg.
Thank you and have a safe weekend!!!
