Memorial Day Ceremonies Held Across State

Memorial Day observances and ceremonies were held across Georgia yesterday. At Fort Benning, hundreds gathered Monday at the main post cemetery to watch the placing of a wreath at the grave on an unknown soldier. Fort Benning’s commander Major General delivered a message reminding people of the deeper meaning of the day. On St. Simons Island, a tradition for almost two decades continued Monday-an observance called Taps at Twilight.
