What: The 63rd Annual 27th Ward Memorial Day Observance Dedicated to the late George Lichauer, Past Commander of American Legion Post #681
When: 10 a.m.
Where: Legion Park, corner of Brighton Road and Shadeland Avenue
This is a day for families to gather and have fun with picnics, swimming etc. However, the most important thing about this day is it is a day of giving thanks. Memorial Day is all about giving thanks to the men and women who fought all over the world in all wars and lost their lives so we can be free. It is also a day to give thanks to the men and women who are fighting all over the world today to keep that freedom intact. Please arrive early. We do ask that you bring your own lawn chair as we cannot supply seating. We are extremely proud to be able to continue this community tradition and we hope to see you there to pay tribute to our beloved Armed Forces. Also, following the service we will have refreshments available to those attending the service.

Monday, May 30
What: Troy Hill Memorial Day Carcade
When: 9:30 a.m.
Where: Pittview Monument
On Monday, May 30, 2011, the Memorial Day carcade will form at the Pittview Monument and the first salute to our departed comrades will be at 8:30 am. We will then proceed to salute our comrades at St. Paul’s Cemetery, Ridgelawn Cemetery, Most Holy Name Cemetery, and St. Mary’s Cemetery. We will proceed to the monument at the Spring Garden Fire Department, the 26th Ward Monument, and the 24th Ward Monument on Spring Garden Avenue. The carcade will end on Troy Hill where the parade will form at North Catholic High School.

The parade will then salute the five monuments on Troy Hill with the last salute at Voegtley’s Cemetery. At the cemetery we will conduct our Memorial Day Program ending with our final salute to our departed comrades. We invite you to be with us for this program.
