Scouts to help decorate graves at Poland Riverside

POLAND — Grave decorating at Poland Riverside Cemetery will take place at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Members of the American Legion Mahoning Valley Post 15, American Legion Auxiliary Mahoning Valley Unit 15 and Sons of The American Legion Mahoning Valley Squadron 15 will be joined by local Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops to place flags on the graves of United States military veterans.

“It is a great thing to have the Scouts assist in the graves decoration,” said Squadron 15 Commander Jeff Vrabel Sr.

Should a grave be inadvertently missed, flags will be available at the cemetery office.

Family members are asked to have their flag holders in place for the decoration, which will take place rain or shine.

Anyone interested in participating in the event at Riverside should come to the cemetery by 9 a.m. and meet at the Man on the Monument.
