They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them. “For the Fallen” by Laurence Binyon
Memorial Day is the time we, as a Nation, set aside to remember those who have fallen in service to our country.
Join us on Sunday, May 24 at 3 PM as we Remember the Fallen on Memorial Day Weekend. Our Armored Support Group will perform a 21-gun salute featuring three cannons – the French 75 mm field gun representing WWI, the 75 mm pack Howitzer representing WWII, and the 105 mm Howitzer representing the Vietnam War.

The 21-gun salute is a free outdoor event.
