CLEVELAND — At Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, an army of volunteers dispersed Thursday morning in teams of two with maps in one hand and American flags in the other. They are part of a three-day effort to place a flag on each of the nearly 9,000 veterans buried here.
"I don't have any veterans in my family," said Jane Underwood."My father wanted to serve, but he was designing Liberty ships instead. And he gave to the veterans the rest of his life." Each Memorial Day is marked with a 10:30 a.m. service at the final resting place of President James Garfield. A fitting spot since it was Garfield, as a young Congressman from Ohio, spoke at the first Memorial Day service, then known as Decoration Day, at Arlington National Cemetery just three years after the end of the Civil War.
