A selection of local Memorial Day events

Fellow former soldiers Ken Edwards (left, back to camera) & Dennis McLeroy embrace after the fifteenth annual Roswell Remembers Memorial Day Military ceremony in 2012. In 1997, twelve patriotic individuals came together to create a truly unique Memorial Day event; a non-political, non-commercial ceremony honoring veterans and the sacrifices they made in protecting our freedom. That first ceremony attracted approximately 1,800 individuals.
