Memorial Gardens stages annual remembrance
A large group gathered on Memorial Day to honor those who have served
the country.
“We are here to honor all men and women who have given their love so
we can be free,” said Rev. Roger Howell at the Memorial Day Ceremony held at
the Perry Memorial Gardens Monday.
“How important is freedom,” Howell asked the group, and then he cited
several verses from Genesis concerning the topic.
After his speech, a wreath was laid on the grave of a Veteran. Emily
Moody, a Perry High School student, played “Taps.”
