Memorial Day is May 27th. We are going to proceed with the silent vigil again. We have done this for 12 + years now. Many members have faithfully stood for the same person each year. I realize that many of our members are also facing physical problems that make the stand difficult. This may mean not all locations will be covered. This year I am going to post the names and locations of our South Dakota KIAs. If you are able to do the silent vigil from 3:00 pm to 3:30pm please do so.
