Barrasso to Speak at Sheridan Community Memorial Day Ceremony, Public Invited to Attend Weekend Events

The Sheridan County Veterans Council is inviting all community members to take part in Memorial Day weekend activities to honor those military members who have died during service. There are more than 1,700 graves at the Sheridan Municipal Cemetery that belong to men and women who have served in the military. Volunteers can join the Veterans Council starting at 9 am Saturday in the cemetery to place posts and American flags on all of their graves.

On Monday, the annual Memorial Day Ceremony will be live and in-person at 10 am at VFW Roy Eaton Post 1560, located at 758 Broadway Street. This year’s theme will be the Korean War, with a special tribute to the Wyoming National Guard’s 300th Armored Field Artillery Battalion. U.S. Senator John Barrasso will be the guest speaker for the event.
