LDN -- Top Stories

Pictured above are a variety of shots from activities that took place over the weekend in celebration of Memorial Day. The communities of Atlanta and Mount Pulaski were very busy on Monday with a number of activities. On Sunday the Southern Baptist Church in Lincoln held a special ceremony in Kickapoo Creek Park. LDN today will feature memorial activities at the Lincoln park on Sunday, and in Atlanta on Monday. In the Wednesday edition we will have coverage from Mount Pulaski.

The end of another great weekend. Devin Biggs caught this shot a few days ago and sent it in to us and we've been saving it for a special moment. This is it. As we begin our new work week, let us not forget what has been brought to remembrance this weekend. Let us remember every day to say a prayer for those in the armed forces, as we enjoy beautiful sunsets, they work to assure that we can do so freely.
