American Legion Post 89 and VFW Post 5242 in Pella partnered to remember veterans over the Memorial Day weekend.

The organizations held the annual Memorial Day remembrance ceremony on Sunday at the Pella Memorial Building.

Retiring State Representative Guy Vander Linden, a retired Brigadier General in the United States Marines, was the keynote speaker. The ceremony included patriotic music sung by the Fynaardt family and recognition of veterans in attendance from all five branches of the military, as well as a time to remember those service members who have died. It concluded with a gun salute and the playing of taps.
