MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM MAY 25, 2013

On May 25, 2013, 10 A.M., the Carroll County Veterans Memorial Park Committee has invited the American Legion Department of Georgia POW/MIA Honors Team to present their outstanding Ceremony designed to honor those who were Killed- In-Action, Missing- In-Action, or have died since serving.  This is an opportunity to experience a very special and meaningful program.  The Team will be escorted to the site by over 50 Legion Riders arriving on motor cycles.  The program appropriately honors the Flag, POWs, MIAs, as well as the families who suffered because of their sacrifices.      

Singing the National Anthem and several patriotic songs will be the renowned soloist who sang the National Anthem at this year’s American Legion National Convention.  The program has been expanded to include the tolling of the Park Bell in the Tower as the names of recently Killed-In-Action from Georgia are read and Post 143 Rifle Team will fire a salute.

Please don’t miss this special opportunity to see and participate in this remarkable program – bring your family and friends – plan to stay long enough to tour the park and locate the memorial plaques of your family members and friends who served our great Country.

We live in the land of the free because of the brave – Remember our Veterans and Troops!
