Honoring Our Heroes: Memorial Day (May 2023)

WEST CENTRAL TRIBUNE

WILLMAR — Willmar veterans will once again raise the Flags of Honor for Memorial Day on the east side of Willmar Lake.

Veterans from the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, AMVets and others every year place flags on the graves of every veteran in the area.

On Memorial Day, the veterans will visit each cemetery where they will read the roll call, fire a rifle salute and play “Taps.”

Regional communities will mark the day with programs, flag-raisings, parades and more. For more information, visit wctrib.com.
