MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY - 0930 MONDAY, 27 MAY 2024
Legionnaires,
Much Thanks to all who volunteered time and talents to the Memorial Day Weekend Events. Unfortunately we had to cancel the Monday Ceremony at the last minute. But our Keynote Speaker, Colonel Tim Monroe, was gracious enough to forward his remarks to us for distribution. I Hope everyone had a great weekend and day to remember.
