Chattooga County residents will have two opportunities to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms at programs to be held in both Trion and Summerville.

The Town of Trion will have a Memorial Day program at the Trion Veterans Memorial, located at the Trion Track Field.  The ceremony will take place at 1 PM this afternoon and will feature the reading of the names of those who have lost their lives in service to our country.

Then, at 2 PM this afternoon, the Spirit of America Doughboy Statue will be rededicated at Veterans Park, located inside Dowdy Park in downtown Summerville.  Organizers of the event encourage families to bring chairs and spend some time this afternoon enjoying local high school bands and the commemorative service.
