Memorial Day is a time to remember the fallen
With Memorial Day around the corner we encourage you to take time out and remember our fallen warriors.
Memorial Day was set aside for this purpose and we think it is most appropriate to do just that.
These veterans have gone above and beyond the call of duty and we must salute them for that.
A service locally is being planned to begin with the WHS City Band at 10:30 a.m., followed by the ceremony at 11 a.m. at Riverview Cemetery.
Erwin “Bud” Hanson of Crosby, a World War II Naval Aviator, will be the featured speaker.
We had the pleasure of delivering the address last year and that proved to be a big thrill.
Clayton Benth, a WWII veteran, will once again serve as the master of ceremonies.
If you are unable to attend, simply take some time from whatever you are doing to say thanks.
Without the sacrifice of so many we wouldn’t have the freedom to do what we like to do.
