● In Memoriam - Brandon Wallace - Honored and remembered this Memorial Day for his service, sacrifice and lasting impact on those who knew him. A memorial wreath will be placed in his honor during the ceremony by the local commander of our local VFW post

This ceremony was valuable to so many veterans and community members alike. To gather with our brothers and sisters, join together with VFW, MCL and others - those lost were remembered and those still here supported each other. Our community cherishes times like these to honor those lost and take a step toward healing each year.
