Planned Memorial Day Services on Monday, May 30, 2011, will be presented by the American Legion, Nephi Post #1. The first service will be held at 9:30 a.m. at the Nephi Cemetery, and at 10:00 a.m. the second service will be presented 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. |
