The
2018 Armed Forces Remembrance Day was held in Taylor City Hall May 12. It was
moved indoors because of the heavy rains.
The
Hoover Middle School Band provided the musical entertainment. Stephanie Krueger
again served as master of ceremonies and the Truman High School JROTC presented
the colors.
Featured
speaker was Major Gen. Clark W. LeMasters Jr. The special honoree was former
U.S. Rep. John Dingell, who served in World War II. A large crowd packed the
City Council Chambers and the atrium area.
A
large group of City officials were on hand, including Mayor Rick Sollars. Also
on hand were U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, State Rep. Erika Geiss and Wayne County
Commissioner Ray Basham. Armed Forces Day in Taylor remembers all veterans of
all eras, including those residents who gave their lives during the various
wars and those veterans who recently passed away over the past year.
