Radford’s Annual Memorial Day Service | Life on the Bike and other Fab Things

At the posting of this image, I am attending our locality’s Annual Memorial Day Program.

Participation in this program is one of my most favorite civic activities. I’m honored to serve as photographer and online PR person.

Enjoy these photos from our 2014 program and I’ll share a few from this year’s event soon.

Do you know about the National Moment of Remembrance? As Americans, we are encouraged to pause at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation.

Participation on Radford’s Annual Memorial Day Service committee is one of my most favorite volunteer duties. Working with veterans and other civic minded folks is a great reminder that Memorial Day is more than cookouts and blockbuster sales.

Don’t get me wrong … I do love a cook out! Volunteer service on this committee however assures me that each year, I spend a few hours on the last Monday in May remembering the men and women who have died in military service.

Towards the end of the program, a 21 Gun Salute is provided by the Veterans of VFW Post 776.
