Memorial Day Observances Highlight Local Veterans Groups
Memorial Day programs featured a composite American Legion and drill team in dark blue uniforms with insignias. Veterans from eleven groups attended ceremonies in Forest City, with gratitude extended to auxiliaries, flower girls, scouts, bands, and local advertisers who funded speakers from Washington, D.C. Memorial markers honored Wm Hanson and 48 other veteran graves, while local families and graduates joined community gatherings across Fenton and surrounding areas.
