A visit to the historic
Camp Polk Cemetery last
week led to the discovery of a
pair of military veterans rep-
resenting the local Veterans
of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post
and the local chapter of the
American Legion, planting
new American flags at the
gravesites of their deceased
<brothers and sisters= who
had also served in the United
States military.
Earl Schroeder and Lance
Trowbridge of Sisters are
dedicated to giving honor to
those service people who are
laid to rest at Camp Polk.
<I decided to make a visit
out to the cemetery and in
the process of walking about,
I joined Lance Trowbridge
there replacing worn-out
flags with fresh ones,= said
Schroeder.
Together the two men
went about replacing flags on
a total of 42 gravesites among
the 200-plus burial sites at the
cemetery.

Local veterans groups posted flags at the gravesites of Sisters veterans buried at Camp Polk Cemetery.
Schroeder has a passion
for our country and looks for-
ward to celebrating the 4th of
July next month.
<Visiting the cemetery
and taking time to honor the
veterans laid to rest there got
me thinking about the many
freedoms that began for our
country with the Declaration
of Independence,= he said.
As the two men replaced
weather-worn flags with new
ones, they paused at each
grave in what Schroeder
described as <a tender
moment= of remembrance
and thanks. Graves in the
cemetery date back to the
1880s, and many names on
the headstones are still famil-
iar to the present population.
<In addition to seeing the
flags flying, a visit to the
cemetery is worth the effort,=
Schroeder said.
I joined Lance Trowbridge
there replacing worn-out
flags with fresh ones..
The VFW and American
Legion also recently erected
a new flag pole near the
entrance to the cemetery.
Sisters Ace Hardware
donated the small flags
placed at the gravesites.
Camp Polk Cemetery sits
above the Deschutes Land
Trust9s Camp Polk Meadow
Preserve, giving the cem-
etery a quiet, natural beauty
filled with solitude. To get
to the cemetery, take Locust
Street south of Sisters, which
becomes Camp Polk Road,
for about three miles. Stay on
Camp Polk Road as it sweeps
eastward (rather than going
straight onto Wilt Road) and
the gravel drive is to the left
about a quarter of a mile.
Pass the parking area for the
Camp Polk Meadow Preserve
before arriving at the gate at
the cemetery.
