If you’re like most, Memorial Day is usually just another holiday celebration without any real remembrance of those that died for our freedom. Our community has events dedicated to the recognition of veteran’s that served our country. So you and your family have an opportunity to learn and pay tribute to our freedoms, oftentimes taken for granted. Visit the Lake County calendar at http://www.lakecountyfl.gov/calendar/search_events.aspx to see some of the events planned for Monday, May 27th.
