FLORENCE â The 2021 Florence-Lauderdale County Memorial Day Ceremony takes place at 11am on May 31 in Veterans Memorial Park at 301 Veterans Drive, just north of Wilson Dam.Â
The number of attendees is not restricted, however, seating at the outdoor event is limited. Plenty of standing room is available and attendees are encouraged to bring chairs.Â
The Memorial Day Ceremony honors all fallen American heroes for the price they paid in defending our freedom. The local theme for this yearâs ceremony is âFreedom is Not Free, Some Paid All.â
Attending the ceremony is a small way of demonstrating that gratitude. Family members of fallen heroes are especially encouraged to attend the Memorial Day Ceremony in remembrance of their love ones. Veterans are encouraged to attend in honor of their fellow service members. Veterans in attendance will be recognized collectively and thanked for their service.
