On this hallowed and sacred day, Sheriff Ken Carpenter was invited to be a guest speaker at the Memorial Day Service at the Southern Utah National Cemetery.

Sheriff Carpenter, a United States Marine Major (Retired), spoke on the gratitude of freedom. He spoke about the true heroes of our service members, the spouses. With the support of family, all things are possible and through them, the memories of our heroes are remembered forever.

Sheriff Carpenter has always been service first, and continues to serve his community in every way he can. This belief is carried in our motto “Tradition of Service”.

We thank him, and the other deputies that have served this great nation, and remember those that never made it home. If able, please take a moment of silence today in honor of those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
