That’s the three-gun salute to honor this nation’s fallen heroes presented Sunday by the Baraga American Legion Post at the Pequaming Cemetery.
On this Memorial Day, we take a moment to remember those who have served our country.
Today may not be a pleasant day for barbeques and picnics, but pleasant days were also hard to come by on the beaches of Normandy, in the jungles of Korea and Vietnam, or the in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan.
A moment of silence at yesterday’s service was offered after the names of departed veterans were read aloud.
A special tribute was given for those who are lost, but will never be forgotten.
If you would like to take part in one of the many Memorial Day services being offered throughout the Copper Country, you’ll find a schedule on our community calendar page. Please note that some services may be weather-permitting.
