Judge Executive Wil Cannon was humbled by the large crowd that attended today's annual Memorial Day Ceremony in the courtyard of the Edmonson County Courthouse. Cannon, an Army veteran, was master of ceremonies for today's event that was also a dedication of the newly constructed memorial wall that Cannon proposed almost a year ago.

"To see a crowd this big is a great thing," he said. "I'm proud to live in Edmonson County where citizens care for and remember veterans."

Bro. Jerry Patton gave the invocation after Boy Scout Troop 597 presented colors at today's event. Cannon said he was proud to be the Judge Executive where there were Godly people. "Veterans fought and died to give us the right to worship God in the way we see fit and all the other freedoms we enjoy today."

I would like to thank Ms. Maurita Miller, Auxiliary Commander for local DAV chapter 32, Judge Executive Wil Cannon, Alfords Pharmacy, Dennis and Jeremy Durbin, and all the great Edmonson County residents, and Business that helped make this memorial to our Edmonson county Veterans possible. Edmonson County veterans have always answered the call for all conflicts that this great country has ever been involved in, a great testament to Edmonson County values. Proud to have been raised in a place where American values are alive and well. THANK YOU ALL
