The Orland Cemetery District was recently given a substantial Grant in August of 2021,  through the Friends of the Orland Cemetery group from the Barceloux-Tibessart Foundation for monuments recognizing those Veterans at rest in our cemetery.   The monuments depicts a representation of the folded flag that is given to the Veterans survivor at the loss of their loved one by a gratefull nation. 

With the monuments are the words;

 

                                                 "We don't know them all, but we owe them all."

 

Two of these monuments have already been placed at the Masonic and Graves yards with the remaining two to be placed at the Catholic and in the flag area of the Oddfellows Cemtery. 

The Orland Cemetery District is gratetful for the continued support from both the Friends of the Orland Cemetery and the Barceloux-Tibessart  Foundation for their contributions in recognizing those Veterans of the Orland community who are at rest in our yards.
