American Legion Post 854 To Hold Post Everlasting Ceremony Memorial Day In Evergreen Park

EVERGREEN PARK, IL — Members of American Legion Post 854 will conduct their annual Post Everlasting ceremony Monday, May 26, which is Memorial Day.

The parking lot will be blocked off for the ceremony, so people are encouraged to arrive before 10:30 a.m.

American Legion members will post their colors and lay a wreath to honor those who’ve fallen advancing the flag for our country. The ceremony will conclude with a 21-gun salute and taps.

After the ceremony, veterans will go inside the American Legion hall to remember Post 854 members who passed away in 2025.
