Memorial Day moves online

The Seeing Eye

MEMORIAL DAY GOES VIRTUAL: Due to requirements by the state, Sons of the American Legion Mahoning Valley Squadron is moving the 91st Memorial Day ceremonies to a virtual format. Mahoning County Commissioner Anthony Traficanti will serve as a keynote speaker. Bob Wilkeson will serve as grand marshal and Father Martin Celuch of Christ Our Savior Parish in Struthers will serve as Chaplain of the Day. In the theme of remembering, Squadron 15 is asking that at 11:05 a.m. today all Poland residents go outside and sing the national anthem. Squadron 15 also will honor The Four Chaplains, Those Lost at Sea and the 24 Poland men who made the supreme sacrifice dying in defense of our great nation. At 11:45 a.m. musicians, especially those who play the trumpet, are asked to go outside and play taps to honor and remember those lost in defense of our great country.

The Memorial Day ceremonies can be seen at Sons of the American Legion Mahoning Valley Squadron 15 Facebook page.
