Memorial Day on Celebration Plaza 2024
May 21, 2024 – Saturday May 25, 2024 starting at 11:00AM, the Marine Corp League of Hopkins County will be on Celebration Plaza. They will honor fallen members of all branches of the armed forces with a flag ceremony.
Judge Advocate Bob Kerr, recently elected Commandant Mike Thompson, Vice Commandant Judy Jones, Adjudant Rodney ‘Moose’ Worley and Paymaster Jim Rick will lead the event.
Thank you to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
If rain occurs, a truncated program will be performed. The public is encouraged to attend this solemn remembrance.
Consider avoiding the phrase ‘Happy Memorial Day’. This day is not for the living, but is intended to provide a time to remember the fallen. You should also avoid thanking a veteran for their service on Memorial Day for the same reason.
