Memorial Day Ceremony at Greenwood canceled

There will be no public Memorial Day Ceremony at Greenwood Cemetery on May 25. The event, hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Wahkiakum Post #5297, which pays tribute to those men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice for this great country, will not take place out of concerns for public safety due to the coronavirus. The Post will decorate the graves of veterans so friends and relatives may decide to visit in private. The poppy distribution event which normally takes place during the Memorial Weekend is postponed until after the lockdown.
