A Memorial Day ceremony is slated for the Missouri Veterans Cemetery near Fort Leonard Wood.

It begins at 1 p.m. May 27.

The ceremony includes Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe and Col. Joseph C. “Clete” Goetz II, 100th commandant of the U.S. Army Engineer School at Fort Leonard Wood.

The cemetery is located at 25350 Highway H, Waynesville.

Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day was established as a day for Americans to honor those killed during the Civil War. After World War I, Memorial Day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. Memorial Day was declared a national holiday in 1971 and is observed on the last Monday in May.
