Franklin Cemetery Veterans Memorial - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

Up on a small hill in Historic Franklin Cemetery, is a flag pole in the only direct patch of sunlight available.

Upon this leaf lists the veterans from Franklin Michigan lost in War of 1812, The Civil War, The Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korean War & Vietnam.
