More than a dozen volunteers and members of the Iron Order Motorcycle Club and American Legion Post 565 in Boardman turned out Wednesday to put flags on veterans’ graves in several sections of Calvary Cemetery on the West Side of Youngstown.
Bob Raver, president of the motorcycle club and post member, said he secured about 750 flags from a Pittsburgh company when he heard about the shortage locally.
“I am not going to let something like a flag shortage slow us down in our efforts to salute our war dead,” Raver said. “We’ve been doing this for years.”
