Dozens of members and volunteers from both of Bellmawr’s VFW Posts (7410 and 9563) descended on New St. Mary’s Cemetery on May 15, to take part in the annual Flagging Ceremony.

Held each year prior to Memorial Day, the event is twofold, removing old, broken or damaged flags and markers, and installing new ones, at the resting places of our country’s fallen veterans.

Hundreds of flags and markers now adorn the West Browning Road site, with many of its occupants’ service dating back to World War II.

An impressive sight to see as people drive by, bearing witness to the hundreds of stars and stripes, honoring those who served in defense of this great nation.

As Memorial Day approaches, it is incumbent upon each American, to remember those who have gone before us, remembering their service, and honoring their supreme sacrifice.
