The Atlantic Memorial Day service will be held Monday, May 27 at 10:00 am at the Atlantic Cemetery Field of Glory.  Steve Livengood, local veteran who helps to coordinate those events, has announced that the flags that are normally raised on Friday and left through the weekend will not be raised until Monday morning.

The flags will be raised to half-mast Monday morning at 7:00 am and lowered and stored at 5:00 pm.  The service will feature canon fire to begin, the Atlantic High School Band and keynote speaker Ryan Graham.  If you can’t make it to the service, KJAN TV will provide live streaming video.
