PHOTO OF THE DAY: SALUTE TO THE DEAD

A rifle salute honoring the deceased was part of Freeman’s Memorial Day program held on a beautiful Monday evening, May 31 at the Freeman Area Veteran’s Memorial. The 30-minute program included an address from Retired Major General Tim Reisch, who in 2011 was appointed as South Dakota’s 21st adjutant general by Governor Dennis Daugaard and then was reappointed by Gov. Kristi Noem in 2019. Full coverage of both the Freeman and Menno Memorial Day observance will be included in the June 3 edition of The Courier.
