The Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 966 will host the annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Saturday, May 25th at 11:00am at the Moore County Veterans Memorial in Carthage.

“The Moore County Veterans Monument is a Memorial consisting of two black granite slabs, each 3,000lbs, on which the names of almost 150 Moore County Veterans killed since America entered WW1, April 6th, 1917, to the present. Completing the monument, three flag poles surround the centerpiece, the sculpted figure of an eagle resting atop a smooth stone base. The black granite pedestal of the centerpiece is inscribed with the five branches of the military. The flags flown include the U.S. flag, the North Carolina flag, and Prisoner of War (POW) flag. You are invited to attend and honor those who sacrificed so much for our community and country.”
