Honor the Indian Scouts at the Indian Scout Cemetery, west of Garrison, North Dakota

May is Military Appreciation Month, and Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor people who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The Old Scout Cemetery is a place where many are buried who served our country.   It is a place not known by many, but of extremely high significance.   Read about this in Monday’s upcoming blogpost about the Old Scout Cemetery and the Old Scout Society.
