For Our Veterans!

In Recognition of Their Service to Our Nation!!

Under State Statute, municipality-owned cemeteries are required to provide a flag holder and a United States flag for the grave sites of veterans of the Armed Forces of the United 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 the City of Corunna work together 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 personnel 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.
