Germantown Memorial Day Services
The City of Germantown will hold its Memorial Day services starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 30 at Veteran’s Memorial Park, 75 North Walnut Street.
The guest speaker will be Mr. David Shortt, who will honor a group of distinguished local veterans by sharing their remarkable stories of service and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. Shortt, a native of Germantown and German Township, graduated from Valley View High School in 1979. He is a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer, having served in Panama during Operation Just Cause and in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Shortt is the founder and curator of the Veterans Memorial Museum at 123 South Main Street, Germantown.
The Memorial Day Service includes many participants from the community and begins at Veteran’s Memorial Park, followed by a walk to the Germantown Union Cemetery for a short service and the playing of taps. Citizens are invited to walk or ride their bicycles to the cemetery. Children are encouraged to decorate their bicycles or wagons in patriotic themes. The Senior Center bus will be available to take veterans, their family members, or anyone else who may need assistance to the cemetery for the service and will return riders to Veteran’s Park.
