WILMINGTON For many years, as part of the Memorial Day program at Sugar Grove Cemetery, Wilmington Veterans Post 49, American Legion has had a wreath placed on the grave of a particular nurse by the Auxiliary Unit Presidents of the Legion and VFW Post 6710, or their representative.
This tradition was altered a bit last year and continued with the 2021 program, with plans to make it a permanent part of the event.
DEMING – A decline in COVID-19 cases across New Mexico and the Turquoise map color Luna County has achieved in terms of declining COVID-19 infections, prompted the American Legion Bataan Post 4 to conduct its traditional Memorial Day ceremony on Monday at Mountain View Cemetery.
New Bataan Post 4 Commander Thom Barry (USMC) said the pandemic caused the cancellation of last year s ceremony, along the the post plans for Veterans Day. We felt like it was safe enough to come out here and conduct our services with a small gathering attending, Cmdr. Barry stated.
Members planted American Flags at over 900 grave sites at the cemetery and listened to a panel of guest speakers during the ceremony.
