Veteran getting another chance to share speech censored on Memorial Day

© Vimeo The American Legion Department of Ohio on Tuesday extended an invitation for a retired U.S. Army officer to speak during a community event after his Memorial Day speech was muted while he sought to discuss the role Black people played in the origins of the holiday. With the invite, Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter will have a chance to deliver his previous speech without interruption during the American Legion s Buckeye Boys State, which is an event that teaches young men about government, according to The Associated Press. Kemter was the keynote speaker during the organization s Memorial Day event last month when his microphone was muted as he detailed the history of the holiday and shared that a group of freed Black people were among the first to honor fallen soldiers following the surrender of the Confederacy.

Reflections: Past Memorial Days in Cardington - Morrow County Sentinel

Reflections: Past Memorial Days in Cardington Reading about past Memorial Day observances in Cardington brings memories. Earlier I submitted a few from very early years, but today I am focusing on those within my memory. All of these services were held at the Civil War Monument in Glendale Cemetery. May, 1956 Rev. A. E. Clark, pastor of Salem EUB church gave the address at the May 30, 1956 program. Flower donations to this program were taken by Leonard Benson. Rev. Theodore Partridge gave the invocation and benediction. The parade included the high school band, the Post Drum and Bugle Corps, Boy Scouts, school groups and patriotic organizations.
