Silent Vigil
SD Statewide
3 PM, May 30th, 2022
Memorial Day is May 30.. We are going to proceed with the silent vigil again. We have done this for several 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. Here are the names and locations of our South Dakota KIAs. If you are able to do the silent vigil from 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm please do so. Sturgis SD, Black Hills National Cemetery has 8.
