A Memorial Day Ceremony will be held at the Veteran Remembrance Park of Teague on Monday, May 25, at 10:00 am. We will remember and honor our local heroes who served in wars and conflicts and lost their lives in service to our country, and ultimately for our freedoms. They must be commemorated.
Memorial Day is dedicated to honoring the men and women who have given their lives in service to their country in the U.S. military. This day was born out of the Civil War- a day decorating the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers. In December 2000, a resolution was passed for a “National Moment of Remembrance,” that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of Remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ‘Taps.”
The VRPT is located on US Highway 84. We will start with gathering at 9:30—a time to acknowledge the veterans recognized at the VRPT; visit with friends and family; and share memories of those who passed. The ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. Buzz Russell, KNES-99.1 - On-Line Personality Program Director, will be our Guest Speaker. We thank the VFW Post # 5872, and others for their participation and support.
