The ceremony will include keynote remarks, performances by the Danville Municipal Band and musician Curt Kiser, and a wreath-laying ceremony to honor the fallen.
The ceremony will also include color guard honors by the Marine Corps league, a 21-gun salute, and the sounding of Taps by members of American Legion Post 210.
