Held on 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 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.

   The Celebration is moving and a fitting tribute to the men and women that have served in the United States Armed Forces.

   The event is sponsored by VFW Marple Caldwell Post 5910, American Legion Post 49 and the Ladies Auxiliary.
