Then at 09:00 the veterans accompanied by the Kingswood High School Band will march down South Main Street and turn onto Dockside. Everyone will gather in Cate Park around the Band Stand.
The Post 18 Chaplain will say a prayer. Then the Daughters of the American Revolution will recite a patriotic poem. The Boy Scouts will lead the public in saying the Pledge of Allegiance. One of the Daughters will lead the public in singing the National Anthem. While the Boy Scouts will lower the flag to half-staff, echo taps will be played.

Before dispersing, there will be a few words on the significance of the occasion by the Post Commander.
