St. Anthony's Cemetery has a flag dedicated to all veterans, which is located in the center of the cemetery. This flag is flown 365 days a year. There is also a monument erected to our brave men and women who served our country. The monument reads:
​
This flag pole carries aloft the greatest symbol of freedom ever sewn together was erected by the Naurashank Post 794 of the American Legion dedicated to the brave men and women who answered their countries call in its greatest hours of need and who now lie here at rest here in St. Anthony's Cemetery. May God have mercy on their souls and may the flag they so gallantly defended fly ever high and free.

The Cemetery reserves to itself the right to make changes in rule and regulations as is necessary for the proper performance of its operations and to do this without notice.
