Memorial Day Event - May 27, 2021 - Details
Last year, Mt. Olivet was honored to host dozens of American Legion Post #143 volunteers and friends who placed flags at close to 500 U.S. Military Veteran’s gravesites, then gathered together to salute a bright new U.S. flag donated by the American Legion. This year, we’re working on an even bigger Memorial Event, subject to change as planning proceeds and the virus situation becomes more clear. Note: CDC virus protection guidelines will be closely followed.
