VFW LOYALTY DAY OBSERVANCE, MONDAY MAY 1ST

 

 
 
Loyalty Day originally began as "Americanization Day" in 1921 as a counter
to the Communists' May 1 celebration of the Russian Revolution. On May 1,
1930, 10,000 VFW members staged a rally at New York's Union Square to
promote patriotism.   May 1st evolved into Loyalty Day and the first
official observance of the day was in 1959 after the signing of Public Law
85-529 on July 18, 1958.  
 
Shelby County Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8904 and the Auxiliary
invite the public to join them at the Veteran's Memorial on the grounds of
the Historic Courthouse in Center to reaffirm our allegiance to the United
States of American and pay tribute to the heritage of American freedom.
This program will take place on Monday, May 1st, 2017 at 10:00 a.m.
