Elks Lodge 2177 Memorial Day Flag Placement in Carson City
On May 26th, Carson City Elks Lodge #2177 joined other veterans organizations and Scouts to place flags on the graves of veterans of all services at Lone Mountain Cemetery.
The local DAV chapter, represented by John Hefner, provided the 1800 Flags, and has done so since 1985. Additional veterans events by the Elks is a breakfast on the second Monday of every month, free to all veterans. Also they hold an annual veterans dinner, also free to all veterans, on Veterans Day in November.
The vacant chair at each lodge is a symbol of our motto: ‘As long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.’
