To the Editor:
The American Legion Mundt-Allen Post 81 of Bethel, has canceled this year’s Memorial Day Observance Ceremony following a recent meeting of the Post’s Executive Committee.
Cancellation of this solemn event, for a second consecutive year, occurs with reluctance and regret.
The decision was made out of concern for both COVID transfer and a sheer lack of available personnel. It is an unfortunate development, but a reality nonetheless.
Thank you for your understanding.
Scott G. Cole
Commander, American Legion Post 81
