Remembering The Fallen

By Staff | May 27, 2009

American Legion Marne Post 28 Commander Duncan Graham Jr., left, presents a certificate of appreciation to New Martinsville Mayor Lucille Blum during the Memorial Day service at Greenlawn Cemetery. Blum spoke at the ceremony and said she appreciates the American Legion for bringing the community together for a special time of remembrance. Graham said too many people think of the day as a time for relaxation and leisure rather than reflection and tribute to the war dead. “They fought for us, for us they fell,” said Graham. The service was punctuated by “Taps” played by Lindsay Cain and Joe Feeney. (Photo by Amy Witschey)
