🇺🇸🇺🇸 The City of Rensselaer held a beautiful Memorial Day service on Monday at Weston Cemetery to honor the brave men and women who have served our country and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Mayor Phillips was present to speak to the community and share words of remembrance and gratitude during the ceremony. Special guests included Steve Martin, Commander of the American Legion Post 29, and Jim Paserib, Commander of VFW Post 1279.

A wreath was placed at Weston Cemetery, followed by the release of a wreath from Bowstring Bridge in remembrance of our fallen heroes.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped honor the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of our military members and veterans. ❤️🤍💙
