Join the City of Whiting on Monday, May 25, 2015 as we follow tradition of our annual Memorial Day Ceremony to honor those who served our country. A march will begin at 10:55 a.m. from Post 80 located at 2003 Indianapolis Boulevard, and proceed to 119th Street and Oliver Street in Downtown Whiting for a formal ceremony and the placing of memorial wreaths.
Post 80 Color Guard will lead the march of participants with accompanied music by the Whiting High School Band. The ceremony will begin at 11:00 a.m. at 119th Street and Oliver Street. During the ceremony, the Commanders of the Veteran and Services Organizations will deliver Memorial Day messages, memorial wreaths will be placed, a salute will be fired, and Taps will be played. In closing, the chaplain will lead a benediction while those in attendance will assume an attitude of prayer, and there will be three separate salutes that follow.
The City of Whiting would like to thank in advance all of the participants and City personnel who have made it possible to continue our annual Memorial Day Ceremony. We are pleased to give everyone in the community this chance to pay respects to those who bravely fought for our country, and hope that you will take the time to attend.
