Hundreds of veterans and citizens
gathered at the West Virginia
National Cemetery
The ceremony was part of Grafton’s
147th Annual Memorial Day Program, which began Friday and continues through
Memorial Day. It included patriotic music from the Taylor County Middle School
Band and All-County Chorus, a salute by the Taylor County Honor Guard, speeches
from veterans and a presentation of wreaths from various veteran organizations.
The reason for the ceremony is to
help keep the reason for the holiday in the minds of those in attendance.
