Pandemic forces cancellation of annual Memorial Day service

Posted

MENDOTA – The area at Restland Memorial Gardens in Mendota is empty during the time the annual Memorial Day ceremony would be taking place on May 25.

Due to the current restrictions in place because of the pandemic, Mendota VFW Post 4079, Mendota American Legion Post 540 and their Auxiliaries were not able to conduct the Memorial Day Service this year. The flags were still flown in Restland Cemetery, Lutheran Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery as in years past. And we all were able to take a moment and reflect on the men and women who have served this nation, and the many who willingly gave their lives to protect us all.
