TAMPICO MEMORIAL WEEKEND ACTIVITIES 2017:
Tampico American Legions puts up the flags Saturday May 27th at 8am and if anyone wants to help please be at Tampico Garage by the St. Mary’s Cemetery and BRING A SLEDGE HAMMER to pond in stakes. Many of the members are getting older and have health issues including myself so I can’t help. Hopefully the younger people will help! THE LEGION COULD USE EXTRA HELP!

MONDAY MAY 29Th 10AM: Tampico American Legion Post 574 Color Guard will fire a salute at St. Mary’s Cemetery and then go to Memorial Cemetery to fire a salute after the names are read of Deceased Veterans at St. Mary’s Cemetery. Names will be read at Memorial Cemetery after the firing of the salute by the color guard. I hope to help with this as I carry the Post 574 Flag!
MONDAY MAY 29TH AT 4PM: Take down flags and pull up stakes and put flags away if they are not wet.
