Please join me tomorrow at 11 a.m. for our annual Memorial Day presentation. This is open to the public and we will have free food available after the event. The picture is showing the latest changes to our memorial area. We added the Space Force to our service flags, installed two new flag poles to fly the Honor and Remember Flag and the Gold Star flag. Thank you to the members who worked very hard to get this completed before Memorial Day.
