Remember the reason for the holiday.

In 1868 our country set aside one day to “…cherish tenderly the memories of our heroic dead who made their breast a barricade between our country and its foes”.


Monday morning at 9 a.m. there will be a Remembrance Ceremony at Brook Run Park to honor all veterans that have served this great country. The guest speaker is Dunwoody resident Denis L. Shortal, Brigadier General, USMC, retired, a friend of mine whom I respect and admire on many different levels.

Also attending the ceremony will will be DeKalb CEO Vernon Jones.

Memorial Day Ceremony

    Unbelievable.

    The press release leads, in caps, that Vernon Jones is receiving an award, from a board he created (?), then it gets around to mentioning that the service will honor veterans.

    This shameless clown wants to be a US Senator???
