The communities of Henning and Deer Creek gathered on Monday morning to pay their respect to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Memorial Day programs were held in both communities and featured a number of musical selections, guest speakers and a time for reflection on those who died while serving in the Armed Forces.
