Messages: Memorial Day Activities Planned in Lakeville

Here is this week’s edition of Lakeville Message, which features a story about the city’s Memorial Day observances.

Here is the text of the story:

Memorial Day is set aside to honor those who have died in service to the nation. In remembrance and celebration, on Monday, May 27, VFW Post 210 of Lakeville and American Legion Post 44 will present their annual Memorial Day color guard visits at area cemeteries to honor the military service members buried there.

This tradition of honor has taken place in Lakeville for more than 50 years. The stops on the route will each include a brief presentation, the Color Guard, and
the Lakeville North High School band. Residents are invited to attend any or all of these recognition stops at the following area cemeteries (times are approximate).
