Ashland Area Volunteers Place Flags on Veteran's Graves for Memorial Day


On Saturday morning, some groups from the Ashland area assisted veterans in placing new and replacing old flags on graves for Memorial Day.
Members of the borough's American Legion and VFW were helped by the teachers of North Schuylkill, the Ashland Boys Scouts, Ashland Girls Softball, and the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

The volunteers placed flags in cemeteries in Ashland and Fountain Springs.

Traditionally, students from North Schuylkill would assist, but due to COVID-19, volunteers will wait until next year to bring the tradition back.
