Monday morning, with heavy
clouds and threats of rain, the annual Memorial Day observance in
Lincoln was held inside instead of outside.
The morning began with a
welcome from the master of ceremonies, C. Wayne Schrader. The
invocation was given by Pastor Mark Thompson of Zion
Lutheran Church in Lincoln. Thompson was also the guest
speaker for the day and delivered a touching message to all those in
attendance.
The annual laying of the
wreath ceremony was conducted by Legion Auxiliary member Tecia Hennessey and her
granddaughter. As the ceremonies came
to a close, a three-shot volley was conducted just outside the
building, and Randy Schrader played taps at the back of the room.
A large crowd turned out for
the morning service, and many stayed for the annual ham and
bean lunch that followed.
