PATRIOTIC DAYS

MEMORIAL DAY has always been an outstanding occasion in this community. In addition to memorial events throughout the Annapolis Post 7 the grave of every veteran of any of the wars of the country are decorated on this National Holiday. Today, jointly with Annapolis Post 7 Sons of American Legion this tradition is being carried on.
