For more than three decades, Bartlett has honored its deceased veterans with a Memorial Day Walk and Remembrance. Please join this hometown commemoration on May 28.
It begins at 10 a.m. at Bartlett Park, Oak and North Avenues, with an American Legion flag retirement ceremony. At 10:30 a.m. veterans, scouts, civic groups and bagpipers line up for the walk to Bartlett Cemetery, which steps off at 11 a.m. At the cemetery, the Remembrance continues with a brief program and, returning this year, a cannon salute to Bartlett’s local heroes.
Groups interested in participating in the walk can call Scott Skrycki, 630-837-0800.
