On a beautiful Friday evening, several members of the Highland Amateur Radio Association gathered at Hillsboro’s rolling tree-covered cemetery to assist the cemetery board by placing flags on the graves of the 1,000 veterans whom are buried there.
The Club was joined by three other civic-minded organizations all wishing to honor those who served to protect our freedoms.
