The forecast for Cedar Rapids on Memorial Day includes a 50 percent chance of rain. That has caused the Metro Area Veterans Council to decide to move the Memorial Day program inside.

The Memorial Day program will now be held at the Veterans Memorial Building in the Coliseum on May's Island (50 2nd Avenue Bridge) in Cedar Rapids Monday morning, beginning at 10.

This year's Master of Ceremonies is Cary J. Hahn with guest speaker Colonel Debra Cook, US Army (Ret). The New Horizons Band will perform and non-perishable food items will be collected, for the Veterans Food Bank.

As we celebrate Memorial Day on Monday, I hope you can attend and thank Veterans in person.
