Many people will celebrate a day off tomorrow with barbecues and get-togethers. But for many, Memorial Day is not an excuse to party, it s a time for reflection and remembrance of those who aren t here to share any longer.
Here s a collection of Memorial Day events scheduled for tomorrow in Acadiana, by parish. If you don t see your event here, and you d like it to be included, just send the information to news@katctv.com
Acadia Parish
Since Friday, there has been a memorial display set up at the Church Point Depot. From sunrise to sunset every day, the 21 Church Point men who died serving their country are honored by VFW Post 9903 and American Legion Post 225 with a display. Every hour, a slow sentry will patrol the grounds. You can see the story we did on this event here. The closing ceremony will be at 6 p.m. on Monday, Memorial Day.
