Memorial Day ceremony to resume at Veterans Center
The Daily Ardmoreite
Like he has done annually for over 20 years, Wesley Hull was contemplating a Memorial Day ceremony weeks ago. At one point earlier this month, with vaccines rolling out and public heath recommendations lifted, he decided to sit down and write a few words even though he had not been given a green light by the Oklahoma Veterans Center in Ardmore to have a ceremony.
“I thought they may open up because the numbers keep going down, but it’s going to be very short notice for us to get anything together,” Hull recalled on Thursday. “I’m sitting at my computer at home writing a Memorial Day speech. The telephone rings and I said ‘you’ve got to be kidding me.’”
