Volunteers gathered Wednesday to place flags on veterans’ graves at Cemetery Park in Iron Mountain. From left are Sam, Tom and Charlie Christesen of Kingsford. Since 2003, Breitung Township School District teacher Andy Mendini has been organizing the flag-placing event, which normally includes fifth-graders from both Breitung Township and Iron Mountain schools. It was done by volunteers this spring due to the COVID-19 shutdown.
