The Montgomery County Veterans Service Organization hosted its annual Memorial Day Ceremony at William O. Beach Civic Hall.

VSO Director, Andrew Kester welcomed everyone to the event, which included the Posting of Colors by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard, the National Anthem performed by Stella McKnight and the CHS Carnival and Encore Choirs, and Pastor Angel Luciano delivering both the invocation and benediction.

County Commissioner Walker Woodruff and Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts both offered remarks to the crowd of approximately 250. Guest speaker BG Scott Brower, US Army (Ret.) then shared some personal stories, in a very moving speech. The event closed with a wreath laying ceremony that included representatives of more than a dozen Veteran service organizations.
