Honor Memorial Day in Virtual Ceremony

Memorial Day in Anderson will be remembered virtually this year, with an Anderson Center ceremony now posted online to honor America’s armed forces. 

Members of the Anderson Township Veterans Memorial Committee recreated the traditional Memorial Day event this year, complete with a special speaker, the rifle squad and bugler providing a three-volley salute and “Taps” over the Anderson Center overlook. The event is normally hosted on the South Plaza of Anderson Center in front of the Anderson Township Veterans Memorial.

The speaker for the virtual ceremony is LtCol Kirk Greiner, USMC (Retired), who served in a variety of positions at home and abroad. Greiner’s personal decorations include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Navy/Marine Corps Commendation Medal with “V”, the Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medal, and the Combat Action Ribbon.

We are grateful for the sacrifices of men and women who have labored to keep us free!
