This Monday, the American Legion Post 6 in Chapel Hill will commemorate local soldiers who gave their lives in service of their country.
Memorial Day ceremonies in Chapel Hill began on Saturday, as members of the American Legion, the VFW, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts placed flags on the graves of veterans at the Chapel Hill Memorial Cemetery. On Monday at 8 am, the Legion will hold a short ceremony at the cemetery, followed by a memorial service at 11 am at Post 6 on Legion Road. After the service, the Legion will hold an open house, featuring live music at 12:30 by the Chapel Hill Village Band.
Lee Heavlin of the American Legion spoke with WCHL’s Aaron Keck about the ceremonies, the Legion’s work, and the larger meaning of Memorial Day.
