SHERBURNE – For a second consecutive year the Sherburne American Legion Auxiliary planted American flags beside the memorial walkway in front of Gaines Park, with each flag dedicated to a local veteran and displaying their name, service branch, and conflicts served.

This year the Sherburne American Legion Auxiliary erected more than 120 flags in honor of veterans that will stand for two weeks surrounding Veterans Day, and officials said next year they hope to do more.

Sherburne American Legion Auxiliary President Angela Jones said she was inspired to erect flags dedicated to veterans as part of a fundraising project for the legion auxiliary after seeing a similar display in another village.

Last year Jones said she said originally hoped to have 25 flags, but ended up easily surpassing that goal with 85 flags dedicated to local veterans.
