Cleaning the Superior Cemetery.

Superior – VFW #3584 has invited  all those looking to honor fallen military veterans to their Memorial Day Cemetery Cleanup. The plan is to start at 7 a.m., and end at 11 a.m. with a free luncheon to follow, for all volunteers and any veterans who wish to attend.
  Quartermaster Mike Montiel, speaking for VFW #3584, stated: “We have a number of veterans interred at the Superior Cemetery who no longer have living families to care for the gravesites, or whose families moved when the mine closed in 1982, and many of their gravesites have fallen into disrepair. We, at VFW #3584, find this to be unacceptable and are going to invest our time and efforts to remedy this problem by picking up our tools, gloves, hats, and sunscreen, and marching down to the cemetery to honor every man and woman buried there by cleaning every gravesite we can and placing an American on each grave in honor of Memorial Day.”
  He continued, “Any assistance goes a long way on a project like this, so any help would be sincerely appreciated.”
  A flag-raising ceremony will be held before work begins. A cool down area will be provided with water, shade, and chairs for rest breaks. 

  If you are unable to attend, but, still want to do your part in helping out the VFW, donations can be dropped off at VFW #3584, 405 W Main St (Across from Porter’s Cafe).

  For more information, visit the VFW #3584 on Facebook at http://bit.ly/2qQheTy or call the Quartermaster Mike Montiel at 480-272-3786.
   The VFW is also currently seeking Gold Star Families family members of service men and women whom passed away during their time in uniform. They could be from any era or conflict and any branch of service.
  Quartermaster Montiel stated, “We want to honor those brave men and women with special acknowledgement for their sacrifice, as well as, that of their families. They can contact me directly at the number provided.
