Soldiers fold an American flag over Ernest Cimarrusti’s coffin Wednesday afternoon at the Veterans’ Memorial Park. More than 200 people attended the memorial, with many bearing American flags. Cimarrusti had been awarded the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts, one for a previous injury and the second for his untimely passing in Iraq. He was a 2000 graduate of Douglas High School. Cimarrusti’s burial date was also the five year anniversary of the beginning of the war.
