[ARCHIVED] Memorial Day ceremony to honor the fallen

Memorial Day ceremony

Residents are invited to join the city and area veterans organizations as we honor those who have fallen while fighting for our country.

The American Legion Adam Quinn Post 6 and American Legion Orange Baker Post 187 will host this year's Memorial Day event. The ceremony will begin at 9 a.m. Monday and will be held at the Veterans Plaza & Gardens at Bill Dreggors Park, 230 North Stone Street.

The DeLand Fire Department Honor Guard will present the colors while the Volusia Sheriff's Office will provide a 21-gun salute. Chris Cloudman, Mayor of DeLand will provide a few words and retired U.S. Army Chaplain and 1968 DeLand High graduate Harland Merriam will give the keynote address: "United in Remembrance: Serving Together, Serving Stronger."

The military collections held within the DeLand Memorial Hospital and Veterans Museum will be available for a free tour immediately after the event which should run about 45 minutes.
