Ceremonies throughout Iowa to mark Memorial Day 2021
Wreaths have been laid at two war memorials on the Iowa State Capitol grounds today. Captain Lucas Murphy, the Iowa National Guard’s chaplain, opened a ceremony at the Iowa Veterans Cemetery at 8 o’clock this morning.
“Today we offer our gratitude for all the men and women who have served their country in defense of freedom,” he prayed. “For their sacrifice of time, talent and even to the last full measure of devotion we pay them homage.”
Van Meter Mayor Allen Adams said it’s an honor to have the cemetery in the community. “Today we are gathered to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice,” he said.
