Time will be set aside during the ceremony to allow the
friends and families of soldiers killed during America's
wars to share special memories of their loved ones so as
to honor their sacrifice while remembering them in a
personal way. This will be a special time of fellowship
for veterans and citizens to memorialize men and families
who gave the ultimate sacrifice for America's freedom.
Talented singer Brittany Washburn will provide music for
the occasion and McKenzie's own firefighters and police
officers will post and retire the Colors after the placing
of the wreath at the Carroll County War Memorial. Taps
will be performed by Kate Hames and Christy Lowe.
A veterans' reception hosted by the City of McKenzie will
be held at the conclusion of the ceremonies with members
of VFW Post No. 4939 Ladies Auxiliary serving as
hostesses. Special entertainment will be provided by local

lives to keep us free.
