Memorial Day weekend isn’t just a time for people to fire up the grill and head to the lake for the first time—it is an opportunity to pay respect to individuals and their families who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending the country.
Two Memorial Day programs are being planned in the Henning and Deer Creek area on Monday morning.
The first program will be held in Henning at 9:30 a.m. The program will include an invocation, address, songs and time to honor the sacrifices made by local veterans and their families.
The program will be held at Henning School and is open to the public.
The second program will be held at the Deer Creek Community Center.
The day will begin with a breakfast, including everything from French toast, pancakes, egg bake and more from 7:30-10 a.m. The breakfast will be followed by the annual Memorial Day program at the Deer Creek Community Center beginning at 10:30 a.m.
The Deer Creek program will include guest speaker, Bill Barbknecht who is a past state commander and current national board member, as well as music, readings, laying of the wreaths and a 21-gun salute.
