In honor of fallen veterans, approximately 100 people gathered with handheld flags and paper fans at the Gainesville Historic Evergreen Cemetery for a Monday Memorial Day service.
Two opposing meetings, one by the city commission and the other by the Gainesville Regional Utilities authority, discussed the future of GRU May 23.
The quiet sounds of paper fans filled the historic Evergreen Cemetery on Monday as Alachua County came together to honor those who gave their lives defending the nation.
