05/26/2023

(KAIR)--Atchison County-area military service veterans will be honored with traditional Memorial Day services planned for Monday morning.

According to a release, the Fleming-Jackson-Seever American Legion Post 6 and Lt. Jared Fox Jackson VFW Post 1175 will “honor their comrades” by visiting all Atchison-area cemeteries where services will be held by the Atchison military veterans’ organizations, including a flag presentation with 21 gun salute by a firing squad, followed by the playing of Taps by a bugler, at each cemetery.

The veterans of the American Legion will begin their portion of the ceremonies Monday morning at 8:50 at Oak Hill Cemetery, followed by Mount Vernon at 9:10, Saint Patrick Cemetery at 9:45, Sumner at 10:00, and Sugar Creek Cemetery, in Rushville, Missouri at 10:35.

The VFW presentations will begin at 9:00 at Lancaster Cemetery, 9:25 at Effingham- Evergreen Cemetery and at 9:40 at Saint Ann's, also in Effingham. Then, it's back to Atchison for a 10:20 ceremony at Sunset Memory Gardens, followed by Mount Calvary Cemetery at 10:35.

Both organizations will then unite at 11:00 Monday morning at the Veterans Park, located at the Atchison Riverfront, where the Memorial Day morning's last presentation will be held near the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial.

The release notes that those who wish to attend the ceremonies should arrive at their cemetery of choice about 20 minutes prior to the scheduled times, due to all times being approximate because of travel.
