HIGH POINT – One of the city’s annual gatherings to recognize Memorial Day and the military personnel who died in service to the country will be held in downtown High Point at 10 a.m. Saturday.

The service will take place at the High Point Veterans Memorial on High Street across from the train depot. The guest speaker will be High Point City Councilman John Faircloth, along with a member of the U.S. armed forces.

Faircloth, a former High Point police chief, served in the U.S. Army and Army Reserves.

At the Memorial Day weekend service, a bagpiper will play music for the occasion. An honor guard will post colors with a gun salute in memory of fallen military personnel. A wreath will be laid at the Veteran’s Memorial followed by the playing of “Taps.”

The event is organized by High Point native Nicholas Ruden. For more information call 883-6763.
