May 29, 2022 was a beautiful evening as people came to remember and honor the veterans that gave the ultimate sacrifice, their life, so that we can have the freedoms today. American Legion Post 149's previous Commander, Milt Dotterweich began the service with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by Councilperson Lori Tabit welcoming each person. Carla White Phillips led the song God Bless America. Fayetteville Presbyterian Pastor John Holland shared a few words, followed by a sweet prayer. Carla began singing America the Beautiful as her beautiful voice and words broke through the silence of the cemetery. United States Air Force (R) Colonel Rosie Smith, gave a warm Memorial Day Devotion reminding us why we have Memorial Day. Mountain View Church of God Pastor Bill Harmon began the candlelight presentation starting with lighting one candle, sharing the light from candle to candle until each candle was a fire. Off in the distance, Kellie Pittman stood playing taps. After a few moments of silence in the candle lit area, Lighthouse Worship Center Pastor Mike Kees closed the service in prayer. It was a sweet evening to remember and honor our fallen veterans. Thank you to all that came.
