A Memorial Day Celebration was held on May 30th at 11:00 am at the Veteran's Park in Monroe. Steve Brown was the Master of Ceremonies, Todd Ware gave the invocation, Joe Buffalo sang the National Anthem, and David Thompson gave the welcome. 

Colonel Mitch Swan delivered a powerful and inspiring speech and the American Legion performed the presentation of colors. A wreath was presented by the Historical Society and a moment of silence was observed.
