Big Crowd for Burlington Memorial Day Ceremony

Frances Bartholomew of the Burlington Area Veterans Council, read the “Eternal Honor Roll,” of deceased local veterans at yesterday’s Memorial Day Ceremony at Memorial Auditorium. 

The list from last Memorial Day to yesterday(Mon) included 54 from World War II alone. Featured speaker Mike McCullough says we all need to remember what the day is all about, and he told a packed house in the auditorium basement that it’s our obligation to keep the memories of our dead military veterans alive for the next generation.
