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.
