Monday, May 30 will be observed as the Memorial Day holiday and members of the local Escalon American Legion Post will be busy with a series of four services that day. Beginning with a 10 a.m. service at Burwood Cemetery on River Road, there will be three other stops throughout the day. The Burwood service is typically the largest and includes a guest speaker, presentation of the colors, the playing of Taps and the cemetery itself has small American flags placed on the graves of veterans for the occasion.
