How are you Still Serving?

On the morning of 3 May 2024 members of Roadrunner VFW Post 10763 arrived at the Historic Fairview Cemetery at 600 Yale SE in Albuquerque NM 87112 to participate in the Day of Service Program. We arrived at 8AM and were greeted by some of our Scouts and several other volunteers. Our task for the day was to install another 200 flag holders finishing a total of approximately 500, eliminating the need of drilling holes in the ground for flag placement. After that task was finished we did general cleanup several pickup loads to the dumpster our day in the sun ended at 12 Noon. The Historic Fairview Cemeteries in Albuquerque
