Some scenes from Memorial Day in Indian Valley
While the annual Memorial Day celebration in Indian Valley remains small, it’s a mighty one and features a caravan of residents visiting the graves of family and friends who’ve sacrificed their lives for the country. Each of Indian Valley’s cemeteries has fallen military service people.
The caravan begins at Greenville cemetery and continues to the Gorbet cemetery, Crescent Mills, Taylorsville, and then Indian Jim cemetery.
Here are some photos of the day taken by Indian Valley resident Anna Lawson.
