    Cpl. Barry Powers (left), prepares to present the old Lake Cemetery flag to Cpl. Jordan Lorenzen, May 25. Powers, a Drexel Hill, Penn., native, and Powers, a Walton, Ky., native, are both infantrymen with Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force New York. Each year the Marines from Fleet Week New York help the town celebrate Memorial Day by changing their flag and place flags at the grave site of the troops buried here. There are fallen soldiers from battles dating back to the Civil War resting here. Fleet Week has been New York City's celebration of the sea services since 1984. It is an unparalleled opportunity for citizens of New York and the surrounding tri-state area to meet sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as see, firsthand, the latest capabilities of today's maritime services.
