The men and women of the armed forces of the United States of America were remembered and honored on this Memorial Day at Woodlawn Cemetery in Ada.

Numerous flags fluttered in the breeze under a bright, shiny sky during the service co-sponsored by the Foss-Agin-Meyer Post 185 of the American Legion and Ream-McElroy Post 9381 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Lions Club members loaded truck after truck of mulch Saturday morning for those who stopped by with their own trucks and trailers and for delivery to those who ordered mulch by phone.

The Lions, who usually end their sale around Memorial Day, will continue selling it in June since many May Saturdays were rainy.
