NEWBERRY — A Memorial Day service will be held at 4 p.m. May 26 at Memorial Park in downtown Newberry. The service is sponsored by the American Legion, the City of Newberry and Newberry County. Americans who have died in war and Newberry County veterans who have died in the last year are remembered.
Sen. Ronnie Cromer will be the speaker. Cromer served 30 years in the S.C. National Guard and retired as a lieutenant colonel. He served in Operation Desert Storm.
The program will also feature Jimmie Coggins as emcee and music from Initra Williams, Barbara Ellis, and Carlton Kinard, as well as the Newberry High ROTC as the color guard.
“It’s important we pay tribute on Memorial Day,” said John Talbot, Commander of American Legion Post 24.
“We encourage people to come as we remember those who’ve fought for our freedom,” said Eugene Wilson, Commander of American Legion Post 219.
Chairs will be set-up on the Memorial Park lawn. In case of inclement weather, the service will be held in Community Hall.
With the cooperation of the Newberry County Veterans Affairs Officer David Parnell, the following is a list of veterans from Newberry County who have passed away since last year’s Memorial Day.
During the past year, 96 veterans from Newberry County have died. Names of these veterans, the wars in which they served, and dates of death are recorded by the Veterans Service Officer as follows:
