Memorial Day

In honor of Memorial Day, The American Legion Auxiliary 56, the VFW Post 56 Auxiliary, and the City of Clinton hosted a service on the square this morning.

The event paid respect to World War II veterans as well as to veterans and serving military in all wars. Over 150 people showed up to hear guest speakers Norman Pigeon and Reverend Fred Gist give their touching insights into the national holiday and the men we honor who gave their lives.



In the words of the speaker, Norman Pigeon, who served in the Navy from 1955 until he retired in 1979, "Memorial day is not just about grief, it is about being uplifted by by the service of the citizens of the highest order."

Remember the fallen soldiers in the wars of yesterday and today, and have a happy Memorial Day.

The full write up and more pictures from the event will be in next Wednesday's (May 26) paper.
