Beginning at 3 p.m., with the sounding of Taps, the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War Sydney Camp #41 will hold a memorial service in conjunction with Taps Across America, at the Danby monument in front of Danby Town Hall. https://www.tapsacrossamerica.org/

 The monument has always been a center point in Danby. The residents before us held picnics and dances and bid on picnic baskets to raise the money to build it. Some of these people could have been members of your family.

Over the past 35 years, Sydney Camp #41 has redone six GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) monuments and installed one new one in Dewitt park. They have also redone the war memorial and other monuments in Dewitt Park. 

In addition to the service in Danby, there will be a service at Ithaca City Cemetery Thursday, May 30, 2024. at 7 p.m.  Enter the cemetery from University Avenue, walk or drive up the hill and meet at the GAR monument.

We hope to see everyone at the monuments for these important, solemn and inspiring services.
Veterans should never be forgotten.
