Memorial Day, 2011

There will be a Memorial Day Program next Monday at the Cascade Branch of the Kent District Library. The program will start at 10am at the flag pole in front of the library, if the weather permits.  If the weather is wet, the event will be held in the Wisner Center which is attached to the library.
The speaker this year is Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Melvin A. Bauman.  LTC Bauman  has a long military history, having begun his career in 1965 with the United States Army.  He currently has the title of Reserve Army Ambassador, working out of the U. S. Army Reserve Center in Walker.
 The Third Michigan Infantry, Company F Reinactors (Civil War) will be on hand to handle the salute to the fallen military personnel.
The Forest Hills Central High school Jazz Band will provide music for the event.
The program is put on annually by the Cascade American Legion, McDonald-Osmer Post #451 and the Cascade Fire Department.
