Members of American Legion Post 101 and VFW Post 3429 lay a wreath and say a prayer at Toledo Cemetery Monday to honor fallen veterans as part of their regular Memorial Day services at area graveyards. Participants started that morning and held services in Napavine, Winlock, Vader and Toledo throughout the day, which included a 12-gun salute and Taps played live on a trumpet. Organizers said this tradition has been taking place at least since the 1960s and received a strong showing of support from residents in attendance.
