This Memorial Day, we’d like to begin a new tradition - we will hold a Memorial Day Service to honor those who, so valiantly, served our country. Many of whom paid the ultimate price.

Please join us Monday, May 26, at 1:00 pm at Dowden-Roberts Funeral Home in Heavener. We will have the Poteau DAV, the Heavener VFW, the American Legion, and others there to lead us in a memorial service to recognize our local veterans. All are welcome to attend.

If you have names and/or photos of people you’d like for us to honor, post them in the comments below. Let us know what information you have - name and rank, branch of service, and dates of service.

We plan to make this a new annual tradition, and we are hopeful you will join us in commemorating our fallen heroes.
