Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n

Monday, May 28th is Memorial Day. Many people use this day to mark the start of summer and to come together with family and friends.

The Brunswick County Veterans Services Office would like to wish you all a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend, and we hope that you will keep the true purpose of this holiday in mind.<\/p>\n

If anyone would like to attend a Memorial Day program, here are some of the locations available to you in Brunswick County:<\/p>\n
