Although there will not be a parade, Manchester’s American Legion will hold a ceremony at Oak Grove Cemetery on Monday, May 26, at 11am, which will include the Manchester High School marching band performing the national anthem, service songs, Navy Hymn, and “Taps”; a wreath-laying ceremony; and a reading and honoring of military veterans who have passed in the last year. The community is invited to attend.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
