Honoring Traditions
On Sunday, May 24, the Southern Ute Veterans Association honored a longstanding tradition — one that has been upheld for decades — of decorating the gravesites of Southern Ute veterans with American flags. The flags are left in place through the Memorial Day weekend, showing gratitude for those who served. Association members, Bruce LeClaire, Raymond Baker, Rudley Weaver and Damon White Thunder worked as a team to cover the area ahead of Memorial Day; removing older faded flags from previous years.
