VFW Memorial Day ceremony

The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10054 will have a Memorial Day ceremony, 9 a.m. May 26 in Chief Tecopa Cemetery.

Memorial Day is a solemn day set aside to honor fallen service members. Far too often, the nation as a whole, takes the freedoms Americans enjoy for granted. Those freedoms were paid with the lives of others few of us actually knew.

On Memorial Day, America will commemorate those who made the greatest sacrifice of all -- giving one life for another.
