Today we gather to commemorate the sacrifice of the brave who fought and died for our freedom we hold dear.

Over 100 of Powhatan's dedicated citizens gathered on the Powhatan Courthouse lawn on Monday, May 26, 2008 - Memorial Day.  A great program sponsored by the American Legion Post 201 in association with Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10570, Powhatan, Virginia.

Below the order of service.  If you missed this service, you missed a true blessing.
