Sumter Today: Memorial Day Ceremony & Fish Fry, 2022

Posted

The last Monday in May, Memorial Day, is always dedicated to those who died serving in our armed forces. The Sumter County Veterans Association holds their Memorial Day ceremony at the Maj. Gen. George L. Mabry Jr. Veterans Park near Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina. This year's keynote speaker was U.S. Army Retired Col. Alexander Conyers. In addition, South Sumter Park saw the 13th-annual fish fry to pay tribute to fallen veterans. Alongside the food and music was a display and discussion about the Buffalo Soldiers. Sumter Today is presented by the Sumter Opera House, University of South Carolina Sumter, and Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital.
