PENDLETON — The Avenue of Flags at Olney Cemetery is being erected on Thursday, May 27, by Veterans of Foreign Wars Let ‘er Buck Post #922.

Olney Cemetery is located at 865 Tutuilla Road, Pendleton.

A brief and intimate Memorial Day ceremony is planned on Monday at 11 a.m. by a few VFW and Auxiliary members at the Veterans Memorial Stone at the cemetery, including the playing of “Taps.” The ceremony can be viewed virtually as a live feed on Facebook.
