I know everyone is excited to have a three day weekend for Memorial Day Weekend. It’s the unofficial kick-off of summer. However, let’s not forget the most important reason for this holiday, and that is to remember all of those lost while serving our country. Here are the Memorial Day Services going on in Lincoln on Monday if you are so inclined:
Wyuka Cemetery (3600 O St) starting at 8:30am
Lincoln Memorial (6800 S 14th) starting at 11:30am
There is also a full Memorial Day Observance Program at the Veterans Memorial Garden at Antelope Park starting at 7:30pm. You can get the full details here.
For those outside Lincoln, many Legion Posts and Auxiliaries from our area small towns host Memorial Day services at their local cemeteries, so check with your community Legion Post.
