Memorial Day program planned for Town of Byron veterans

Town of Byron veterans will once again be honored at the annual Memorial Day tribute on Monday, May 26, at the Byron Town Hall and Veterans Memorial. Doors to the hall will be open from 8 am to 11 am for an open house featuring military and historical exhibits. The outdoor program begins at 9:30 am.

American Legion Post #347 of Lomira and VFW Post 8092 of Oakfield will conduct a color guard/rifle squad salute and a roll call of the 112 veterans laid to rest at Bethel, Byron, and St. John’s cemeteries in the Town of Byron.

The Town of Byron Veterans Memorial was dedicated on Memorial Day in 2005 to honor the men and women from the Town of Byron who served our country in war and peace. The Veterans Memorial Committee continues its research for names of veterans who lived or are laid to rest in the Town of Byron.
