     Memorial Day services will kick off Monday morning with a parade starting downtown and ending at the cemetery. The parade forms at the intersection of First Street Northwest and Second Avenue Northwest at 9 a.m. and leaves promptly at 9:30 a.m. The program begins at the cemetery monument once the parade arrives.
     A mix of music, prayer and speeches will greet service goers at the cemetery. John Krull will read General Logan’s Orders, and Aidan Carr will deliver “The Gettysburg Address.”
     “Taps,” “America the Beautiful” and “The Star Spangled Banner” will also be performed.
     Monday’s guest speaker will be Kelly Steffen, a history teacher at Vinton-Shellsburg High School. Steffen has more than 10 years of experience teaching American history, world history and world religion to high school students.
