Fort Knox is gearing up to observe the Memorial Day holiday

“We’re going to be hosting our Memorial Day ceremony at Kentucky Veterans Cemetery Central at 11.30 a.m. on Monday in honor of all service members who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of the nation,” said Fort Knox Garrison Commander Colonel Christopher Ricci. 

U.S. Army Recruiting Command and Fort Knox Commander Major General Johnny Davis will be the ceremony’s keynote speaker.

“The event is also going to include a ceremonial wreath laying, 21-gun salute, Prisoners of War/Missing in Action remembrance ceremony, flag folding, a flyover courtesy of the Army Reserve Aviation Command, and the playing of “Taps,”” Ricci said.

Ricci says inclement weather in the forecast may lead to the cancellation of the event. Check with Fort Knox’s social media for updates.

Memorial Day also means access to Fort Knox’s cemeteries.

“On Memorial Day, we’ll also have the installation’s 121 cemeteries available for visitation from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine,” said U.S. Army Installation Management Command Cultural Resources Manager Niki Mills. “Fort Knox Range Operations staff will be posted at various checkpoints around the installation to provide access and to help visitors find specific cemeteries.”

Staff will be posted at the visitors center with maps and the cemetery index book.
