cemeteries host events
By TAMMY MALGESINI
COMMUNITY EDITOR
The public is invited to
join a pair of local veterans’
organizations on Memorial
Day to celebrate and honor
those who have given of
themselves by serving our
country in the armed forces.
Originally called Deco-
ration Day, Memorial Day
was initially observed May
30, 1868 — three years
after the end of the Civil
War. According to the Ore-
gon Department of Veter-
ans’ Affairs, the day was set
aside to place fl owers on the
graves of Union and Con-
federate soldiers at Arling-
ton National Cemetery. Offi -
cially declared as a federal
holiday in 1971, Memo-
rial Day is observed the last
Monday of May.
Veterans of Foreign Wars
Post No. 4750 and Ameri-
can Legion Post 37 are host-
ing Memorial Day — Mon-
day, May 27 — services at
the Hermiston Cemetery
and Desert Lawn Memorial
Cemetery in Irrigon.
Leading up to the event
in Hermiston, people are
requested to assist in erect-
ing the Avenue of Flags.

4750 commander, said vol-

“There are classifi cation

The show has evolved
over the years, Smith said.
It began several years after
the car club was established
when a handful of students
parked their vehicles along
the school’s sidewalk. As
interest increased, it moved
to the football fi eld. As
other activities were added
throughout the day, the car
show moved to downtown
Echo.
