Remembering Osmond’s veterans. . .

OSMOND — Each year during the annual Memorial Day program, the names of hundreds of departed American Legion and Auxiliary members are read. Included are those who have died in the past year. Since the Memorial Day program was not held in the usual way, the Republican includes those names of the recently-departed here: American Legion — Byron Broekemeier, Lawrence O. Kumm, Harold Brunckhorst, Gary Koeppe, Lavern Beierman, Norman Lorenz; Auxiliary — Helen Kumm, Joyce Gansebom. Although COVID-19 caused the usual program to be canceled, Memorial Day was still celebrated with “Taps” and a firing salute, and the rain even held off, stopping shortly before and not continuing until a little while after.
