A Memorial Day ceremony is slated at 1 p.m. today (Monday, May 27) for the Missouri Veterans Cemetery near Fort Leonard Wood.

The ceremony includes Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe and Col. Joseph C. “Clete” Goetz II, 100th commandant of the U.S. Army Engineer School at Fort Leonard Wood.

The cemetery is at 25350 Highway H, Waynesville.

Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day was established as a day for Americans to honor those killed during the Civil War. After World War I, Memorial Day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. Memorial Day was declared a national holiday in 1971 and is observed on the last Monday in May.
