Members of American
Legion Carnie Welch Post 27 in Sallisaw are preparing for the annual Memorial
Day Service at the Sallisaw Cemetery.
The service will be
held at 11 a.m. Monday at the cemetery gazebo.
Bill Mowzakis, Post
27 commander, said Steve Carter, Sequoyah County Commissioner, District 2, will
be the guest speaker. He is a veteran of the U.S. Army.
Frank Sullivan III is
the master of ceremonies for this year’s service, and Mowzakis will welcome the
congregation. The Post 27 Women’s Auxiliary will post the colors.
Bill Brown will give
a patriotic reading, followed by Margaret Rothers who will lead the Pledge of
Allegiance. The National Anthem will be led by Jerry Baze and Mowzakis.
James Cheater will
then give the invocation, and Baze will lead the singing of “I’ll Fly Away” and
“Just a Closer Walk with Thee.”
The service will
conclude with the 21-Gun Salute by the Post 27 Honor Guard and the playing of
“Taps” by Margaret Wood. The public is invited to attend the ceremony.
