Guest speaker for Memorial Day 2016

Guest speaker for Memorial Day 2016

In a tradition that extends for years, Zyk Post 272 of Butternut invited Vern Schroeder from Lake Tomahawk Post 318 to speak at its Memorial Day program.
Over 230 people attended the program, and two dozen members of our post marched to the Veterans Memorial and both cemeteries, where an honor firing squad and a live bugler marked each of the occasions.
Jerry and Connie Wegner - in the photo with Vern and Jan Schroeder - helped celebrate their 63rd wedding anniversary.
Vern has been active in state and local Legion activities on many levels since he joined the Legion after completing his service.
