The annual Dublin VA Memorial Day Program will be held in the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center’s auditorium on Sunday, May 27, 2018 at 2:00 p.m.

This, the 150th recognition of Memorial Day, gives all Americans an opportunity to remember that our nation’s very existence and the freedom we enjoy came at the highest cost to many that defended her and those who never came home.
