‘Freedom isn’t free’

“Freedom isn’t free.”
That was the message delivered by American Legion Commander Darrell Hight during Monday’s 136th Memorial Day Program in Washburn.
Hight addressed the crowd several times during the program, which took place inside a packed Washburn Memorial Building.
At the start of the program, American Legion and Legion Auxiliary members served as Color bearers to present the state and nation flags, just before the pledge of allegiance.
Pastor Cory Thrall delivered an invocation, which was followed by patriotic readings by students Jacob Vander Wal and Gabriela Oberg.
