Mountain View Veterans Cemetery, one of six in Missouri, is the final resting place for 195 local veterans. The ceremony was sponsored by the Ozarks Spring Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, co-chaired by Lois Frazier and Cindy Pirch; the Josiah Howell Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, led by President Garry Pirch; and VFW Post 3009 of Mountain View, represented by Commander Daniel Goff and District Chaplain Jay Gould.
The Mountain View Police and Fire Departments provided an escort for the wreaths to the cemetery. Local and state leaders also attended and spoke during the ceremony, reflecting the community’s deep respect for its veterans.
Organizers expressed gratitude to the many individuals and groups who contributed to the event, noting that while not all could be named, each played an important role. Their support, like the service of the veterans honored, is deeply appreciated.
