🇺🇸 Memorial Day Ceremony | Missouri Veterans Cemetery – Fort Leonard Wood Monday, May 25, 2026 | 1:00 PM This album captures the official program from this year’s Memorial Day Ceremony at Missouri Veterans Cemetery – Fort Leonard Wood, where our community came together to Remember, Honor, and Teach. The ceremony featured distinguished speakers including Governor Mike Kehoe and Colonel Alexander Lovasz, MSCoE & Fort Leonard Wood Deputy Commanding Officer, along with the solemn traditions that make this day so meaningful — the Presentation of Colors by the U.S. Joint Services Color Guard, the National Anthem sung by Valery Gallagher, Taps performed by Donald Vineyard of American Legion Post 298, and Military Honors presented by the 14th Military Police Brigade. This day would not be possible without the incredible support of our veterans organizations, motorcycle honor groups, community partners, and youth volunteers — from Boy Scout troops and Girl Scouts to Waynesville High School JROTC and the Pulaski Young Marines. To everyone who showed up to serve and stand beside our veterans — thank you. To all who rest at Missouri Veterans Cemetery — your sacrifice is not forgotten. 🙏 💌 Questions or want to get involved?

Classic iron rolling down the Mother Road! 🚗✨

These stunning machines were part of the Route 66 Centennial National Kickoff Parade in Springfield, Missouri — and they did not disappoint. From sleek muscle cars to gorgeous convertibles, every one of them turned heads and stole hearts. This is what Route 66 is all about — the open road, the history, and the people who keep it alive and rolling.

The Centennial celebration is just getting started, and it’s already one for the books! 🎉

🇺🇸 Armed Forces Day | May 16, 2026

Today we honor the men and women currently serving in our United States Armed Forces — those standing watch, deployed far from home, and defending the freedoms we hold dear every single day.

Here in Waynesville — a community that has stood alongside Fort Leonard Wood for generations — this day holds a special place in our hearts. We see the dedication, the sacrifice, and the strength of our service members and their families up close, and we are grateful.

To every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, Guardian, and Coast Guardsman — thank you for your service and your sacrifice. We’ve got your six. 🫡
