Memorial Day

May 29 is Memorial Day. Dust off your red, white, and blue for a backyard barbecue or find the nearest pool to cool off in. While you’re enjoying the day, take a moment to remember the soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom. Stop by the Capitol from 2 to 4:30 to watch the Monticello Singers perform “A Salute to Veterans” on Memorial Day, or visit the Jefferson City National Cemetery on E. McCarty to pay your respects to the 1,500 veterans, spanning from the War of 1812 through the Vietnam War, who are buried there.
