FILLMORE -- the new Fillmore Veterans Memorial will be dedicated in an 11:30 a.m. public ceremony on Monday, May 26.

The ceremony will begin with a VFW service on the northwest corner of the Fillmore Elementary School site where the memorial Is located. After that, the group will move to the gym for a short program.

The Fillmore Veterans Memorial Committee -- comprised of Steve and Patti Cash, Lu Jackson, Middy Phillips, James L. Woods and Darrell Storm -- has issued thanks to all those who donated and allowed the committee to raise more than $9,000 to bring the project to completion.

"We look forward to presenting this memorial and hearing from those with special feelings about the value of remembering those who served," the committee said in a statement.
