The American Legion Red Henderson Post 483 in Delta County paid tribute in honor of Memorial Day by placing flags on military headstones in the cemeteries starting with Oaklawn in Cooper.

The Post along with many of its members, volunteers - elected officials and the Delta County 4-H participants  - helped just as they do each year.
