A Memorial Day program will be held on Sunday, May 24, 2026 at 2:00pmCT at VFW Post #6097, located at 500 Greenhills Rd, Columbia, KY.
There will be a program inside the VFW Hall consisting of music, a speaker, and more. The speaker will be Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Raymond Wrensh (retired) who recently moved to Columbia and is a new member of the Post. CSM Wrensch is a retired U.S. Army senior enlisted leader with a distinguished 20-year career spanning multiple elite units and deployments. He served in the 3rd Ranger Battalion and the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (“The Old Guard”), and was the Command Sergeant Major of U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany.
Following the indoor program, everyone will retire outside to the Memorial for the Laying of the Wreaths, in honor of the fallen brothers and sisters.
The public is invited to come out and honor these fallen heroes. There will be seating for at least 140 people, and Post member Joe Hare says they would love to see the need for even more chairs.
