Washington County will be honoring fallen heroes during several Memorial Day programs on Monday, May 26. And this year, the events will feature something new — two brothers will be playing in military echo style.
Christian and Colin Kemker will be playing Taps at the gravesites, both around the county and at the service at Crown Hill Cemetery.
First off, the annual cemetery salute begins at 8 am at the Smedley cemetery and continue with stops about every 15 minutes at the following cemeteries:
Smedley
Mt. Tabor
Old Union
Livonia
Claysville
Saltillo
Cave Town
Mt Carmel
Hop Cemetery
Campbellsburg and final service at the American Legion Home at about 10:30a.
The annual Memorial Program will begin at 11a at Crown Hill Cemetery. Post Commander Pat Rice will lead the ceremony, Frank Nobles will be the speaker and Bob Holler will give the invocation.
WSLM will provide the sound system as well as broadcast the program LIVE on the radio – 97.9 FM and 1220 AM.
