 Inaugural Potter’s Field Memorial Day Event 

May 26, 2014



 Six American Veterans were honored at a Memorial Day service at the Dunn County Potter’s Field Cemetery in Menomonie.  It is the first known instance of an Honor Guard paying tribute to the veterans buried there. 

Following a welcome from the AMVETS Post 72 Commander and a message from the Post Chaplain, a Military Honor Guard consisting of members of AMVETS Post 72, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion fired the ceremonial Three-Volley Salute (often referred to as a 21-gun salute) over the unmarked graves of the six veterans.  The ceremony concluded with the playing of “Taps.”
