On May 23, the American Legion Dane R. Balcon Post 2008 and local Boy and Cub Scout Troops 228, 231 and 159, placed flags on veteran’s graves at Eastonville Cemetery to honor the veteran’s service to our country. The flags remained at the cemetery through Memorial Day. This is the second time Post 2008 has placed flags at the cemetery and they plan to continue the tradition every Veterans Day and Memorial Day.In the past, a Colorado Springs VFW placed flags on the graves. The Falcon American Legion Post decided to take on the responsibility of this event as part of its continuing community involvement. Historically, the American Legion and the Boy Scouts have a long-standing working reputation and both local organizations plan to continue their working relationship to better the Falcon community. If you are interested in joining the American Legion, meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7 p.m., at the Falcon fire department. For information about joining Woodmen Hills Cub Scout Pack 159, contact Jessica Morse at 886-4865.
