Memorial Day Ceremony is an opportunity for Russell Haven of Rest to give back to the community. With the help of the Roy S. Geiger Detachment of the Marine Corps League, the Military Museum of Clay County, the Vietnam Vets and Legacy Vets Motorcycle Clubs and other volunteers, each Memorial Day is a very special day for all who attend.  Besides patriotic speeches and music, there is a display of restored military vehicles and other military memorabilia. The ceremony is held under cover of former Vietnam era tents with spacious parking and seating. In 2008 there was a scheduled flyover by a 1945 L4J plane.  Each year we have a dynamic speaker to remind us that we live in the most wonderful country in the world, and we have the members of our Armed Forces to thank for that blessing.

 Please join us on May 25, 2009, at 10 AM for a wonderful celebration and remembrance ceremony. The ceremony lasts for an hour, but plan to have extra time to linger and view the military displays. There are usually 250 – 300 guests. Call for directions or if you know a special speaker or event that would enhance the program.
