The Allen program will begin at 11:00am with Presentation of Colors, followed by a few short speakers, and a ceremonial wreath laying by members of each service branch. After this short program, patrons in attendance will participate by putting a wreath on the graves of the more than 100 veterans laid to rest at Allen Cemetery.
Children are more than welcome, as this is an excellent opportunity to teach them about history and the important contributions of veterans. We will provide small flags, coloring pages and crayons to younger children so they can feel truly included in the event.
