Lebanon Memorial Day Celebration…

Held each Sunday during Memorial Day Weekend, this program is a dignified tribute to fallen soldiers of any war. Held at the awe-inspiring Lebanon National Cemetery with its rows of white headstones, the program features a presentation of the colors by the Marion County Veterans Honor Guard and Marion County High School R.O.T.C., singing of the National Anthem and patriotic musical selections performed by the Marion County High School band.

A different guest speaker is featured each year and a wreath is presented to the family of the last soldier interred at the Cemetery followed by a three-round cannon volley and TAPS. In 2008, Retired Capt. Bill Huston, president of St. Catharine College, will be the guest speaker.

The Celebration is moving and a fitting tribute to the men and women that have served in the United States armed forces. It begins at 2 p.m.

The event is sponsored by American Legion Post 49, VFW Marple Caldwell Post 5910, Disabled American Veterans Chapter 159 and their auxiliaries.
