Nephi

Planned Memorial Day Services presented by the American Legion, Nephi Post #1, will be held at 9:30 a.m. at the Nephi Cemetery, and at 10:00 a.m. at Vine Bluff Cemetery. A short program will be presented at each cemetery. A prayer by the Post Chaplain will be offered, names of the deceased veterans will be read, a musical tribute will be sung, raising of the American Flag to full staff, a seven rifle three volleys will be fired over the graves, and taps will be rendered.

We come together on Memorial Day to pay tribute to every single American service member who has died in defense of this great country. Hundreds of thousands have given their lives over two centuries of American history, from the Civil War to Europe, from Pearl Harbor to Korea, from Vietnam to Grenada, from Kuwait to Afghanistan and Iraq.

We gather at these cemeteries to remember these fallen heroes who laid down their lives for the very freedom our flag represents. It is only natural that the panorama of this day be blessed with the bold colors of red, white and blue. Those colors paint a portrait of patriotism, pride and gratitude on our minds and engrave in our hearts an unending sense of pride in being an American.

President Benjamin Harrison understood how their sacrifices embody the very essence of our flag and what "Old Glory" stands for. He said, "I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning…I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did."

We submit to you that we can continue our commemoration of our fallen comrades by showing the same respect and reverence for our flag that they fought and died for. They were the defenders of our faith…our faith in our country…a faith that is embodied in our flag.

Please plan to attend.
