Covington held ceremonies to honor fallen service members Monday ahead of the city’s Memorial Day parade. LINK contributor Abigail Shoyat was there to shoot photos of the ceremonies.
The events began at 7 a.m. with a series of Honor Guard salutes at local military memorial sites. They continued with a parade and end with a service at Historic Linden Grove Cemetery and Arboretum.
“Memorial Day is a day of remembering our soldiers,” said Denny Madden, co-chair and treasurer of the United Veterans Memorial Day Committee. “Because of their sacrifice for our freedoms, we’re able to have parades like this to honor them.”
