Staged in front of the granite Kerr County War Memorial wall, which will feature the addition of two new names of locals lost in service to this country, the ceremony will feature a keynote address by Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice, a U.S. Army veteran, and will be emceed by U.S. Marine Corps veteran Jeff Harris.
A highlight of the ceremony will be the laying of wreaths at the memorial by various local groups. Any organization that wishes to participate need only make sure they have an occasion-appropriate wreath and a wire stand to prop it up. Sign up is immediately prior to the ceremony itself of event day.
Limited seating will be available during the program, which should last about an hour. Attendees are invited to bring their own lawn chairs. There will be a few tents for shading and a limited supply of bottled water will be provided, thanks to a donation by Hill Country Telephone Cooperative (HCTC). In the event of inclement weather on event day, the observance will be moved indoors into the Happy State Bank Expo Hall at the Hill Country Youth Event Center, 3785 TX27 in Kerrville.
