From Paul Violette, Post 39 Adjutant: On Monday, May 31, 2021 the American Legion Post 39 will repeat the same process as last year for Memorial Day Services:
We will salute departed comrades both at the Pine Grove Cemetery and on the North Village Road near the Bridge over the Warner River.
Members and Veterans will meet at the Legion Hall at 10:30 AM to pick up gear for the Color Detail and the Firing Squad. We will leave for the Cemetery by 11.00 AM.
Post 39 participants will then drive and/or ride to the Pine Grove Cemetery for the presentation of a prayer and salute and then proceed to the Warner River for another prayer and salute in remembrance for Veterans that perished at Sea. The Legion Detail will then return to the Legion Hall to stow all gear be dismissed.
All persons that wish are welcome to attend this event. Hopefully we may be able to conduct the Memorial Day Exercises next year as we have for more than 100 years.
There will be no event at the Town Hall due to COVID-19. The Kearsarge Regional High School Band will also not be coming for any activities in Warner.
However, KRHS will be streaming a Virtual Memorial Day Observance with music Friday, May 28, 2021 at 11 AM on Facebook and the KRSD homepage Kearsarge.org.
