The Lula-Belton Historical Society is sponsoring a community event on Monday, May 31 at 10 AM at the Veterans Park on Athens and Main. Memorial Day is more than a national holiday. It is a time to remember and honor the lives lost in service and duty to our country.
Amy Cornett, the newly-elected President of the Historical Society says, “I feel privileged to be a part of the upcoming Memorial Day ceremony honoring and memorializing our fallen soldiers. They have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and deserve nothing but the utmost respect and admiration of every American here in our small community of Lula, as well as our entire nation. I extend my deepest, heartfelt appreciation to them, as well as their families, for their selfless and courageous sacrifices. For without them, our country would not be the amazing, free country it is today.”
The program for this event will consist of the presentation of the colors, patriotic music, a short message from a local veteran, and prayer – all aspects will be lead by local residents. Please plan to attend with your families to remember before the fun of summer kicks into full gear.
