Memorial Day Honors American Heroes Who Have Passed Away. Visit Oak Hill Cemetery To Pay Homage To Our Local Heroes

Michelle Delaney — Mon, 31 May 2021 20:53:12 +0000

Across the United States, Memorial Day is observed to commemorate the heroes who died serving the country. In Clermont, our fallen heroes have been solemnly recognized at Oak Hill Cemetary by the Kiwanis Club of Clermont. Early Saturday morning, club members arrived at Oak Hill Cemetary to begin placing flags on the graves of fallen heroes. (Names of the Fallen Heroes listed below).

Chuck Seaver, a life-long resident of Clermont and an active member of Kiwanis, described the history of the flag program at the Clermont cemetery. “It started approximately 40 years ago, when my grandfather Oakley Seaver and his sister, Nelle Seaver, began walking the cemetery and placing flags on the resting places of veterans. Alone, they created the original map used for locating veterans for the flag placements”.

Seaver explains how to locate tombstones. Pictured L-R: Greg Amann, Chuck Seaver and Michelle Barnard Pines.

As the program grew, Oakley, a longtime Clermont Kiwanian, asked the club to take the program over. Since that time, the club has placed flags on the veterans’ final resting place annually on Veterans Day and Memorial Day. The flags are left in place for a period of one week. “I took the program over in 2018 and since then we have included first responders into the program as they are such an important part of keeping our community safe”, explained Seaver. “Many of the first responders recognized were actually volunteer positions for the city’s fire department back when the entire department was made up of volunteers”.The flags will be taken down on June 5. On Veterans Day, November 11, the flags will once again be proudly displayed.
