Memorial Day Weekend is such a precious time for the Elks of Orange. It is a time we come to honor those men and women who have fought for us and those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
On Saturday, the Boy Scout Troop 1475 of the Orange Elks Lodge and members of the Orange Elks met to place flags on gravesites of veterans. We placed flags on the graves of those who gave the Ultimate Sacrifice and those who have been called to their Final Muster. CMDR Scott McKee, CMDR. Of the American Legion Post 131 and Orange Elks member gave instructions of the proper placement of the flags on the graves.
