Memorial Day

A snowstorm forced the Wyoming entrances to close Saturday.

The event Monday is to honor veterans and raise awareness of veterans' issues.

Why we have a day called Memorial day and why it is important to pause on that day and give things is a lesson that must be taught to the next generation.

In honor of our Armed Forces Veterans, past and present, Laramie Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2221 is hosting Memorial Day weekend events.

A memorial is an object, sculpture, headstone or statue which serves as a memory of someone. Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May since 1971.

But cooler, wetter weather will resume on Memorial Day (Monday) according to forecasters.

Be careful if you travel this weekend as Wyoming is the 10th most dangerous state to drive in this weekend.

Memorial Day gives us an opportunity each year to remember those who died in active military service. That chance will be this upcoming Monday.
