Memorial Day service set for 10 a.m. Mon. at cemetery

Midway's Memorial Day service will be held at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the Midway Cemetery, contrary to a line in the Messenger's City Council story last week. We apologize for the error.

Mayor Grayson Vandegrift said at the council meeting that he would not have a special speaker for the service, but would talk about the Iraq War experiences of an unnamed local veteran who served in difficult circumstances but doesn’t want to speak about it.

“I really think his story is important and powerful,” Vandegrift said, “and he’s one of our own.”
