Monday is Memorial Day, a day when we remember those fallen Veterans of the Armed Services.
Craig County was connected to the War between the States by many young men who took up the cause. From World War One until the Present Day, many men and women have joined up with Uncle Sam.
We have a lot of Service Members who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Craig County has a lot to be proud of.
It reminds me of the time my Dad told of his landing on Omaha Beach in France. The men around him were going down fast.
Serving in the Navy , I know first hand how tough it is to tell a family their son or daughter gave the Ultimate Sacrifice.
I have lived in Craig for three years now; it is a beautiful community in which to live and raise a family.
Please, on this Day not only remember those who have gone before us but thank those who still protect our Country and our freedom to live in this beautiful area known as Craig County.

Everyone remember the Town’s Memorial Day service Monday at 10:00, Courthouse yard. They usually have plenty of chairs.
It’s a great way to remember our veterans in the middle of picnics, sales, and yardwork!!!
Try to bring children and grandchildren. They need to learn traditions like this.
