Over 280 Veterans have been laid to rest at Laurel Lawn. We are proud and privileged to host this free service to honor them, and all those, living and dead, who have served in the military for our nation. The Sunday afternoon time is chosen to not conflict or compete with official government or church services

Speakers

A diverse group of speakers, representing veterans, local government, various religious faiths, or just a voice of the community, offer brief reflections on the day, interspersed with live and recorded music.
