Avenue of honorThe Avenue of Honor is displayed each Memorial Day weekend at both the Colfax and McKeever Cemeteries. Each flagpole has a wooden shield with a plaque honoring an individual veteran's service. The veterans represented are both living and passed. This project was started in 2006 by the Colfax AMVETS and American Legion. Flags and plaques are still available for purchase. See Andy or Owen at the Colfax Senior Citizens Center, or print the Avenue of Honor application and mail it to:
