Members of the Southern Ute Veterans Association; Rudley Weaver (Navy), Raymond Baker (Navy Ret.) and Bruce LeClaire (Army) changed the U.S. and Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) flags at the Southern Ute Veterans Memorial Park, Wednesday, May 20. The flags are changed periodically due to weathering, if faded, frayed or damaged in any manner. The Southern Ute Tribal flag was changed earlier in the week. The changing of the flags was also in preparation for Memorial Day, Monday, May 25. The annual Day of Remembrance – Memorial Day ceremonies have been cancelled for this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
