GAINESVILLE - The American Legion on Riverside Drive always places flags at the graves of veterans at Alta Vista Cemetary on Memorial Day weekend.

Flags can already be seen around the cemetary as people get set to honor those who served their country in the armed forces

In addition, Masonic Lodge 219 has placed more than 150 white crosses with flags on a bank overlooking Dawsonville Highway.

The Masons first erected their "Sons of Hall County" display on Veterans Day last year. They will erect the crosses and flags every Veterans' Day, Memorial Day, and July 4th.
