Memorial Day
Commemoration in
Talkeetna Cemetery
Wreaths were laid,
taps played softly
and the officer of the
day read a roll call of
the honored dead as
Talkeetna-area
residents gathered
May 26 for VFW Post
3836's annual event.
A 21-gun salute
followed the brief but
emotional ceremony.
The post then
hosted the
community to a
delicious Memorial
Day meal. For more

its Ladies Auxiliary,

ABOVE: Little Liam Connolly, held by
grandmother Clyde Connolly, may
have enjoyed the feel of the pasta
salad more than the taste. The
delicious post-memorial meal was
enjoyed by many.
