For Our Veterans!

In Recognition of Their Service to Our Nation!!

Under State Statue, muncipality owned cemeteries are required to provide a flag holder and United States flag for the gravesites of Veterans of the Armed Forces of the Unites States.

The maintenance, upkeep, and replacement of these holders and flags, as well as the display are the responsibility of the  grave owner and/or family.

In cooperation, the Corunna VFW Post 4005 and City of Corunna work togther to ensure that our Veterans' graves in Corunna's Pine Tree Cemetery are properly honored by voluntarily maintaining and displaying these holders and flags.

The Corunna VFW Post 4005  provides the personell resources for setting, repairing and replacing  holders and flags.

The City of Corunna reimburses the VFW annually for the cost of flag and holder replacements.
