Harper at Rankin Memorial Day

Gregg Harper at Rankin County Memorial Day event.

It will honor servicemen and servicewomen who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.

The ceremony will also recognize the troops who are fighting to protect our freedom today.

“Memorial Day reminds our nation that our sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, at times of need have protected America’s freedoms through all of our branches of military service,” said Harper. “That is why I voted in favor of the war supplemental bill that provides our troops the resources they need to achieve their mission and come home safely to their families. Let’s honor their memories and their service this Memorial Day.”

The Rankin County service is set for 2 p.m. Monday at the Rankin County Courthouse. Other services were held in Meridian and other parts of the state.
