Armed Forces Day Flag Placement Ceremony
May 18, 2024
10:30am - 12:00pm
Oxford Memorial Gardens Cemetery
On Saturday, May 18th at 10:30am, the American Legion Post 111 will be sponsoring the annual Flag Placement Ceremony.
We will meet at the Memorial Gardens Cemetery where we will be honoring all the past veterans by placing flags at their grave sites. The public is invited to assist in the placement of the flags. The SAKS High School Band Brass Ensemble will play the ARMED FORCES MEDLEY as well as THE OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL HONOR CHOIR sing the National Anthem: Special Songs By Amy Moore; Taps for this ceremony will be performed by Annie Ingram. Also, the Alabama Artillery Group will be sounding the three round volley.
This is a precursor to the Memorial Day Services that will follow as memorialized across America.
