Show Volume XXVII Issue II The Ogden Valley news Page 5 June 1, 2020 Memorial Day Tradition at Valley Cemeteries to Continue Amidst COVID-19 By Becky Wood Attention Valley residents, the traditional Memorial Day Services, which are annually presented by our beloved American Legion, local Post 129, will be held (in spite of recent shutdowns) this Memorial Day 2020 at each of the four Valley Cemeteries on Monday, May 25 at the following places and times: Liberty Cemetery 9:00 a.m.; Eden Cemetery 10:00 a.m.; Eden Mountain View Cemetery 11:00 a.m.; and Huntsville Cemetery 12:00 p.m. Considering the postponement of many meaningful events this year because of COVID19, this will be a landmark service of hope and optimism, and all are invited to attend in order to honor the graves of United States veterans and their selfless contributions to our freedom, which blesses all Americans and the Republic “for which we stand.” Memorial Day, formerly called Decoration Day, was instituted during the Civil War when people started laying flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers in Gettysburg for both the Union and Confederate men who died in this famously tragic battle. The practice of honoring the graves of veterans in this manner was then quickly adopted in other states and later became an official federal holiday by an act of Congress in 1971. Please join your fellow citizens in this important public show of gratitude, respect, and patriotism where Ogden Valley residents never forget the sacrifices of our fallen warriors, members of the American military, and the fearless theme they live and die by: “This nation will remain the Land of the Free only so long as it is the Home of the Brave.” A peaceful Memorial Day 2020 to all!
