The ceremony includes music by Lee Auckenthaler, bagpiper. Taps will be provided by Cadet 2nd Lt. Bartolini.
The Truckee VFW Post and the Truckee Civil Air Cadets will place flags on the veterans’ gravesites.
Research by the Civil Air Cadets and the assistance of Don Colclough, Sierra Mountain Cemetery board president, has made locating the gravesites possible.
