The Mount Lawn Cemetery Association will hold a Veterans Day Memorial Service

The Mount Lawn Cemetery Association will hold a Veterans Day Memorial Service on Friday, November 11, 2022, at 3:00 PM, in the Mount Lawn Cemetery at the flag pole area near the mausoleum.

Reverend Bud Russell will officiate the service, which will include remarks by a local veteran. The Pershing Rifle Honor Guard, composed of state and national flag bearers and two rifle bearers from the Appalachian State University ROTC program, will begin the event with the presentation of colors. The ceremony will conclude with the playing of “Taps,” followed by a gun salute. The service is open to family and friends of all veterans, as well as to any interested members of the community at large. Those attending can bring lawn chairs for seating if they wish. The Mount Lawn Cemetery Association was organized in the fall of 2021 as a non-profit corporation for the specific purpose of purchasing, managing, and restoring Mount Lawn Memorial Park and Cemetery. Donations toward those goals can be sent to The Mount Lawn Cemetery Association at PO Box 1787, Boone NC 28607.
