Memorial Day Ceremony at Evergreen Memorial Cemetery

About the Event

On Memorial Day we will be holding a Communal Military Rites Ceremony, presented by The American Legion Honor Guard Post 635 Normal and Post 56 Bloomington. The ceremony will begin promptly at Noon.

A modified Communal Military Rites will be offered for those families of Veterans from WWII to present time who have NOT had military rites preformed. Anyone interested in being a part of these communal military rites should contact Butch Ekstam at 309-825-2703 no later than May 20,2023 to register.

Rendering military funeral honors is one way to show the nation's deep gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our country. Thanks to the men and women of our local American Legions posts for providing this tribute for these veteran’s families.

We want to hear from you if you have an event to share or updates to this event.
