Volunteers Needed to Help Flag Veterans’ Graves
Hello everyone,
The United Veterans Council is requesting your help. Friday May 22nd at 530PM (TODAY!!!)
As some members of our organization have gotten older, we are no longer able to flag our comrades’ graves as we once did. We are asking for volunteers to assist AMVETS Post 7 with this important effort.
Please meet us at:
Please meet us at Precious Blood Cemetery at the Corner of Diamond Hill Road & Rayburn Street Woonsocket, RI
Please see attached flyer!!!
This is a great opportunity for anyone who needs to complete mandated community service hours.
Once all veterans’ graves have been flagged, there will be pizza, soda, and water served at Precious Blood Cemetery.
Things to bring:
Gloves
A long pole about the size of a golf club shaft
This will help poke holes in the ground to make flag placement easier
A children’s wagon (optional)
Helpful for carrying flags instead of lugging them in your arms
Sunblock
Bug spray (just in case)
And a smile 😊
We will also have water, soda and pizza available.
We hope to see you there! If you get lost or have any questions, please text 401-365-9178 and ask for Joe. I will call you back as soon as I can. I expect I will receive a lot of calls, so please be patient—I will not forget you.
Hope to see you then!
