Honoring Our Heroes on Memorial Day
It was a true honor for the Asheville Senior Chorus to take part in Weaverville’s annual Memorial Day observance, held at the Community Center overlooking Lake Louise on Monday, May 26th.
This meaningful event featured guest speaker Major General Joseph G. “Skip” Garrett III (Retired), who delivered a moving tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
The Asheville Senior Chorus led the singing of the National Anthem and presented a stirring medley of patriotic songs. Amazing Grace was beautifully performed on bagpipes by Howard Dusenbury, adding a powerful and emotional moment to the ceremony.
We were privileged to be included in this heartfelt program honoring our fallen heroes.
