For Immediate Release
Floyd, Virginia 31 May 2021
The Floyd County Republican Committee sponsored a Wreath laying ceremony at the Floyd County Courthouse on Memorial Day, Monday May 31st. At 3:00 p.m., a large group of local citizens gathered in front of the landmark building to recognize the ultimate sacrifice of nearly a million American Military members over more than two and a half centuries, beginning with the French and Indian Wars, during which local Americans fought and died defending Virginia as Militiamen serving under British command, to those of today’s soldiers, sailors and airmen defending the United States of America worldwide.
A welcome and introduction was given by Mike Donnelly, who noted in his remarks that all branches of the Armed Services have suffered members lost, and recognized also the contributions of civilians to the Armed Services. The invocation prayer was led by Kenny Poff, assistant Pastor at the New Beginnings Church in Willis after which the audience joined in singing a rousing rendition of “America the Beautiful” followed by a show-of-hands Recognition of Veterans in attendance, and The Pledge of Allegiance.
Music was performed by singer and songwriter Jim Korb, who sang “American Soldier”, followed by “The National Anthem”, led by Susan Lackey’s first- and second-graders. 7th House of Delegates Candidate Marie March thanked all of our Veterans, then spoke on issues facing the Commonwealth and ensuring the protection of the rights of the citizenry, followed by the song, “Some Gave All”. Kalinda Bechtold, Candidate for the Indian Valley seat on the Floyd County Board of Supervisors, and herself the spouse of one who served, opined on the importance of local representation and responsive governance on the local level.
The formal placement of the Wreath on the base of the obelisk dedicated to Servicemen from Floyd County was led by Mike Donnelly, accompanied by two Veterans and two Gold Star relatives of military members who were Killed in Action.
Jim Korb again led the audience singing the songs “American Trilogy” and “God Bless the U.S.A.”, followed by Jennifer Miller, Candidate for the Courthouse seat on the Board of Supervisors, who gave a moving recitation on the statistics of American Casualties over the history of our country, including the ghastly tolls of the American Civil War and the 9-11 Terrorist Attack of September Eleventh, 2001, parts of both having occurred on Virginia soil.
The event closed with the singing of the song “Where were You?”, a Prayer by Jennifer Miller, and the song “Taps” ending with an uplifting “God Bless America”, and a note of Thanks to the Judge and County Administration.
