Honoring Veterans In 2021 t has been announced that the Mountville Memorial Day Parade will not occur this year. The Reese-Hall Mountville VFW Post 8757 will still place American flags at the graves of all veterans interred in the 11 cemeteries in and around Mountville on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31. In place of the Memorial Day Parade, the VFW Auxiliary Post 8757 decided to honor past and present members of the armed forces with tribute street banners around Mountville. Each banner, measuring 20 inches by 40 inches, will include a military picture of the service member, along with his or her name, rank, branch, and dates of service. Members of the VFW Auxiliary ex pressed their gratitude to the Mountville Borough for sponsoring the creation and distribution of these banners. Those interested in having a banner made should contact VFW Auxiliary members Mike Gienic at 717-625-5184 or Amy Marenick at 717-572-1797. Spots are limited and banners will be made on a first-come, first-served basis.
