Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2022 will occur on Monday, May 30.
Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season. *www.history.com
Members of the Meeker V.F.W., Ladies’ Auxiliary and American Legion will meet Monday at Circle Park at 9:30a.m. to throw a wreath into the river commemorating the soldiers who have died in active military service.
Following the wreath ceremony, a Memorial Day service will be held at Highland Cemetery.
As a reminder, the Meeker Highland Cemetery has a no dog policy except for service animals.
