SPRING VALLEY, WI – This coming Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, at 9:30 a.m., the Spring Valley Rickerd-Danielson American Legion Post 227 and Auxiliary Unit 227 will hold a Memorial Day Remembrance Service and a Dedication Ceremony for the newly installed stone War Memorial Monument with tall flagpole.
Following the Memorial Day and Dedication Ceremony, we will be hosting a small picnic and social hour. We will be joined by the Boy Scouts and the Spring Valley High School Band.
American Legion Post 227 of Spring Valley Wisconsin received its Permanent Charter on April 11, 1928. At that time, we were named the Ralph Rickerd post. We later were issued a Supplemental Charter October 4, 1947, when we renamed the post to “Rickerd-Danielson” to honor Dorance Danielson. Both Rickerd’s and Danielson’s names appear on our War Memorial.
This ceremony will be held in the small park located just west of Spring Valley Dentistry where Park Drive meets State Trunk Highway 29 in Spring Valley, Wisconsin.
