Community Services - Spring Creek Memorial Day Flag Placement

Each Spring during May, the detachment gathers on a Saturday morning prior to Memorial Day at the Spring Creek Cemetery (in College Township) to place American flags at the grave sites of U.S. Armed Forces veterans buried there. Spring Creek Cemetery is located on Country Club Road which is just off Branch Road. Coming from the north you can reach the cemetery by driving through Lemont. From the south, you can reach it by turning north onto Branch Avenue at the Hills Plaza intersection of Atherton and Branch. The cemetery is across the street from the Centre Hill Country Club. The effort is coordinated through the Centre County Veterans Office in Bellefonte.
