In addition to the aforementioned events, the remembrance will see a singing of the National Anthem and a playing of TAPS.

“I would hope the community would come out and honor these individuals,” said Mayor Ed Burtner. “If you’re unable to make it to the event, I ask that you pause and remember the brave men and women who died serving our country.”
