Leon County to Place Memorial Day Wreaths to Honor Veterans

The following are the locations the county will place wreaths:
As part of the County’s ongoing commitment to honoring and supporting local veterans, the County will participate in a formal ceremony organized by the American Legion Sauls-Bridges Post 13 on Monday, May 25, at 11 a.m. The ceremony will take place at Oakland Cemetery, located at 838 North Bronough Street.
