HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Memorial Day services are scheduled for two locations in the area on Monday. The first will be held at the Veterans Memorial in South Hutchinson starting at 9 a.m.

The service will include opening remarks from Kelly Danyluk, chairman of the Reno County Veterans Memorial, and music from the Hutchinson Municipal Band brass quintet.

 A wreath will be placed at the memorial by the American Legion and American Legion Riders. The address will be given by John Harlow, Commander of the American Legion. 

Following that service, the American Legion and VFW will hold a memorial service at the Memorial Park Cemetery west of Hutchinson.

The Municipal Band will play once again along with the presentation of the roses with AMVETS, American Legion and Auxiliary, VFW and Auxiliaries, the American Legion Riders and the Sons of the American Legion present.

A reading of VFW and American Legion members who have died in the last year will be read. Scott Miller will present the message and Dave Schoonover will lead the ceremony honoring POWs and MIAs.

Both ceremonies will be followed by a luncheon at the American Legion.
