On Memorial Day, 2020, Boardman Kiwanian Mark Luke stood alone in Boardman Cemetery where he delivered the 116th annual Memorial Day address. There was no parade, no gathering at Boardman Park, due to concerns with the coronavirus. Memorial Day, 2021, will be different. Although there will again be no parade (due to concerns with the virus), there will be the 117th annual Boardman Memorial Day service at the Maag Outdoor Arts Theater in Boardman Park on Mon., May 31 at 10:00 a.m. to which the public can attend. “We will honor those who have served, are serving and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice while in military service to our country,” Mark Luke, a Memorial Day coordinator and president of the Boardman Kiwanis Club said, adding “We invite all veterans and community members to join as we recognize, remember and express our solemn thankfulness to our military forces who preserve our way of life.”
