(May 28, 2021) Salisbury Mayor Jake Day, who arrived back in the states late last month after being deployed with the Army National Guard to Africa during 2020, will deliver the keynote speech at the Memorial Day service in Ocean Pines on Monday.
The event takes place at the Worcester County Veterans Memorial on May 31 at 11 a.m.
Day is one of three U.S. mayors to deploy for active military duty while in office.
The others are former North Ogden, Utah Mayor Brent Taylor and then-South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Last year, Day joined the 110th Information Operations Battalion for a yearlong assignment involving a 12-country region in the Horn of Africa.
