"On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country... "

On this Memorial Day, please consider joining the Southlake American Legion at their Memorial Day Ceremony to honor and remember the American veterans who gave their lives in sacrifice to our great nation.

Monday, May 26th 10:00 AM
White's Chapel Cemetery (at the flagpole)

All are welcome to attend but we would also like to be able to provide a few of our scouts to present the colors for this event and one to help with the lowering of the POW flag to half mast.

Please sign up if you would like to volunteer. Scouts volunteering to participate will be asked to arrive at 9:15.

The ceremony is short but meaningful and it would be a great way to show our duty to our country and our support of the American Legion.
