St. Regis marks Memorial Day with flag displays

photo

There were well over fifty American flags placed at various graves in the St. Regis Cemetery this Memorial Day weekend, just a small representation of the very large percentage of service members that make up all of Mineral County. Miniature versions of the stars and stripes waving around the green lawns are a visual reminder to all Montana communities of their own veterans buried and the ultimate sacrifice that many have made.
