Hutto Cemetery Veterans Day Celebration

Over 10% of the graves in Hutto Cemetery are those who served in our nations armed forces. They served in the military during the Civil War (Union and Confederate), World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam. Branches of services represented are Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Alabama Calvary, Army Air Corp and Coast Guard. Our Veterans served our country as nurses, military police, infantry, quarter master corps and repair units.

We celebrate our Veterans with a medallion, donated by the Brushy Creek Baptist Church, at each grave. On Memorial Day and Veterans Day a flag is placed at each Veterans grave.

Each year on the Saturday before Veterans Day we hold a celebration of our Veterans at the Cemetery. This event is supported by the Hutto High School AFROTC Color Guard, Hutto High School Band and other community organizations. The name of each Veteran in the Cemetery is read in honor of their service.

Hutto Cemetery Eagle Scout Project

In 2018 Harrison Blanck of Georgetown Scout Troop 155 completed his community project for qualification as an Eagle Scout. His project was to create a seating area around the Hutto Cemetery flag pole. He and his team excavated the area around the flag pole, created a boarder with bricks, covered the area with stones and installed concrete seating.

Harrison solicited donations from the community to fund the installation and he donated the leftover funds to the cemetery. Harrison, congratulations on earning and receiving your Eagle Scout recognition!
