Mission Accomplished - Memorial Day 2025
Thank you to everyone who braved the misty conditions at the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery at 11:00 a.m. on May 26th to help us honor and mourn the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military at the 2025 Memorial Day Ceremony. LTC Adrien G. Humphreys, Commander of the Radford Army Ammunition Plant, delivered an inspiring tribute, and numerous volunteers insured the dignity of the event.
Special thanks to the following:
- Travis Graham and the staff of the Veterans Cemetery for their professionalism in making sure this event went off without a hitch.
- David Gravely and his students from Pulaski County High School for providing photographic and video support. Please take a look in the Memorial Day 2025 section in the Gallery.
- The Roanoke Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol for providing the Color Guard and wreath support.
