Memorial Day events planned

Milam County residents are invited to place a cross on the Milam County Courthouse lawn in memory of their loved ones this Memorial Day.

The American Legion Auxiliary Post will have crosses available for pick-up at the Cameron Area Chamber of Commerce office. Everyone is invited to decorate a cross in memory of veterans, police officers and first responders who have passed away.

American Legion Auxiliary member Jolene Cahill said that last year’s crosses were damaged by rain and everyone will need to do a new cross from this year.

The crosses will be placed on the lawn during a Memorial Day ceremony at the Courthouse at 10 a.m. on Memorial Day, May 28. The crosses will stay on display until June 10.

You can also contact any Legion member for a cross.
