Like many, the City of Plymouth and Plymouth’s Beyond the Yellow Ribbon network made the difficult decision to forego a Memorial Day live event this year. Our alternative was to work with the City of Plymouth’s Park & Recreation Department and CCX Media to produce a virtual remembrance. Our event will be live streamed on Facebook LIVE this Friday, May 22, at 11 a.m. It will also be streamed on the CCX website. We hope to get an On-Demand link so that people will be able to watch it on their own schedule. The program will consist of:
- Welcome – Jeffrey Wosje, City of Plymouth Mayor
- Pledge of Allegiance – VFW Post 5903
- Invocation – Chaplain, Lieutenant Colonel Phillip A. (Buddy) Winn Jr. United States Army, 34th Red Bull ID & MN National Guard State Chaplain Fort Snelling Memorial Chapel Foundation Pastor
- America the Beautiful – Sara Shiff Robbinsdale Armstrong High School Senior
- Remembering the Families – Jennifer B. Rodgers, Military Spouse & Plymouth Beyond the Yellow Ribbon President
- Honoring the Fallen & Keeping Remembrance Alive – Colonel Terry W. Branham (Ret.) United States Army, Vietnam ‘69-’70, Desert Storm, Drug War ‘91-’93 VFW Post 210 & Legion Post 44
- In Flanders Fields – Erin Anderson Wayzata High School Senior
- Benediction – Chaplain Winn
- Moment of Silence – Chaplain Winn
- Taps – VFW Post 5903 (Conclusion of Program)
UPDATE May 25 – If you missed the live event you can still catch it here – https://tinyurl.com/yakmqq5j
