The annual Middleburgh Rotary Memorial Day celebration in the Memorial Park on upper Main Street will be at 10 a.m. Monday. The speaker will be David Lyon, retired commander, U.S. Coast Guard.

Refreshments will be provided by the Century Club and the Women’s Cooperative Club immediately after the ceremony.

Sharon Springs

On Monday, Sharon Springs American Legion Post 1269 will conduct the annual Memorial Day ceremony in front of the central school, located on Route 20 in the Village of Sharon Springs.

In addition to the traditional ceremony, this year’s program will honor the five former Sharon Springs Central School students who gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country during World War II or the Korean War. Memorial monuments will be placed on either side of the existing World War I monument.

One will be dedicated to the memory of Sgt. Walter D. Sall, killed in an airplane crash near Montgomery, Ala., on Dec. 5, 1942; Pvt. Howard C. Slater, killed in action in Italy on Feb. 19, 1944; Lt. Andrew C. Empie, a fighter pilot listed originally as missing in action and later confirmed as killed in action over Lae, New Guinea, on Sept. 29, 1944; and Cpl. Laurence D. Stephens, who died in Holland on Oct. 29, 1944, of wounds received in combat.

The other monument will be dedicated to Marine Cpl. Richard A. Buttery, killed in action on June 3, 1951, near Yanggu, Korea.

The families of these men have been invited to attend the ceremony, except for Empie, who has no known immediate family members.

A parade will begin from the parking lot on the east side of the school at 10:30 a.m. and end in front of the school. The ceremony on the school’s front lawn will begin at about 11 a.m.

The program is scheduled to include a Marine Corps color guard from Fox Company 2/25, the local school band, a speaker, placing of wreaths, a firing party reflecting the tradition of the military 21-gun salute, military fly-over and a flag presentation honoring the five fallen servicemen.

For more information, call the American Legion Post 1269 Commander David C. Costello at (518) 284-2368 or the town of Sharon offices at (518) 284-3010.
