Memorial Day is fast approaching. There will be many Memorial Day sales flooding the media with special deals you just can’t miss. There will be parties with fun games and there will be barbecues with friends and families.
But there is much more to Memorial Day than that.
There will also be ceremonies and events across the nation as we remember and honor those who paid the ultimate price during our country’s time of war. There will be American Flags, flowers and wreaths placed at Veteran headstones in cemeteries near and far. There will be tears.
This is a time for all of us to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy today and the heros and loved ones who made it all possible.
The Honor Guard of Post 109 will hold three ceremonies on Monday May 30th.
We will be at the Edna G dock at 11:00 am to place rose peddles in the water to honor all of those who lost their lives at sea while defending our country.
Next there will be a wreath laying ceremony at Two Harbors Lakeview Cemetery.
Then we will travel up the North Shore to the Minnesota Veterans Home at Silver Bay for a short ceremony.
Please join us as we honor those men and women who died in service to our country.
James Latvala - Commander
