Moving memorial service

The annual British Cemetery Memorial Service was held today in the school gym. (Due to the threat of thunderstorms and/or tornadoes, the service was moved indoors instead of being held at the cemetery.)

The only difference in the service itself as a result of being inside was that there was no 21 gun salute. Oh, and bagpipes are really loud in a school gymnasium! It was still a moving tribute to the British and Canadian sailors who gave their lives attempting to help protect American shores during World War II. Here are a few pictures.
