Georgetown, Ky.

Unique to the nation, the Pilgrimage was formed in 1919 by Post 24 Commander Gordon A. Hambrick.
Commander Hambrick organized a small group of Legionnaires who, with three horses and buggies and one
automobile, visited three cemeteries in Scott County.
On Memorial Day, May 24, 2020, American Legion Post 24 continued the tradition of celebrating the 102nd
anniversary of the Memorial Day Pilgrimage, honoring and remembering the brave veterans who fought to give
us a safe and peaceful place to live, by visiting and conducting memorial ceremonies at seven cemeteries in Scott
County. Public attendance is welcomed and encouraged to help us remember and honor our local Scott County
veterans.
At each cemetery, current Commander Jim Woodrum made opening remarks, followed by patriotic songs led
by Bob Griffin, reading of the names of the veterans buried in that cemetery, a 21-gun salute and sounding of Taps.
