Pleasant City Cemetery to honor soldiers who gave the ultimate service to their country, their lives. In the beginning about 1986, Leslie Nelson, state commander, American Legion, approached Mt. Pleasant City to sponsor a memorial for all veterans of all wars at the Mt. Pleasant City Cemetery. The memorial was to line both streets with flags on 100 East to be flown on Veterans Day. Leslie Nelson contacted Hal Jensen, commander of American 4, arranging a Legion Post meeting with Mayor Amoir Deuel in August 1986. At that time two flags were erected, one 50-stflag for Cannon Jensen and a 48-stflag for Burdell Allred, who gave his life in World War II. Some members of the American Legion at that time were Hal Jensen, commander; James E. Johnson, adjutant general; Bert Ruesch, Eldon Hughes, Shirley Tom Dail Averett, Madsen, ThoGlen Paul Nunley, Nunley, and mpson, Earl Ursenbach, Christensen.
