The other group will take part in services at National and Catholic cemeteries near Linwood at 8:15 a.m. and at Dawson Cemetery at 9 a.m. Paul Shavlik will be the featured speaker.

The two groups will reassemble at Killian Cemetery at 10 a.m. and Woodland Cemetery at 11 a.m.

There will be a veteran doing a reading at Woodland Cemetery. The 2016 Girls State representative, Dakota Chapman, will be
the featured speaker at Fleming, Cedar Hill and Killian cemeteries.
