The Battle Cross was in place, and the American Flag at Sanger Cem- etery was at half-mast, as attendees to the May 30 ceremony solemnly remembered those from the past.
Multiple American flags were on display during the Reedley Memorial Day Ceremony at Reedley Cem- etery on May 30; not only in the Veterans area but throughout the cemetery as all gravesites of veterans also were decorated with white crosses. Rory Huerta was the featured speaker for the 2022 event, and the annual laying of wreaths in honor of veterans and vari- ous groups once again took place.
