Memorial Day Ramona
Tom Davis
The sun shone brightly on the Ramona Cemetery as The American Legion Post #334 held a Memorial Day services to honor veterans across the area.
Some tears were shed as names of the fallen were read. Twenty one shots rang out and Taps played as the American flag was raised gracefully to full mast.
Each year, the post conducts services at the Oglesby, Matoaka, Ochelata and Ramona cemeteries. Ceremonies include raising the American flag, playing taps, a 21-gun salute and prayer.
Approximately 350 veterans are buried at the Ramona Cemetery, including those who served in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War and Operation Desert Storm.
