Memorial Day Ceremony
Join the The Freedom Park Memorial Committee and VFW Post 10721 at its 17th annual Memorial Day Ceremony at Freedom Park in Edwards on Monday at 3 p.m.
Every year, the last Monday of the month of May marks Memorial Day, a federal holiday in the United States honoring those who lost their lives while serving in the country’s armed forces.

Memorial Day is a day to remember the men and women who died while serving, while Veteran’s Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.
