Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, is a federal holiday remembering people who have died in active military service. There are several Memorial Day ceremonies in the Greensboro area. One that will be very special will take place at the Carolina Field of Honor, where Greensboro’s own, Major Karoline Hood, U.S. Army, will speak. Major Hood graduated from Northwest High School and went on to Graduate from West Point. She has deployed to Iraq and to Afghanistan, where she was a platoon leader and company commander.

Major Hood is an inspiration to us all, serving her country and modeling excellence in all she does, from leading troops to running marathons to teaching math courses at West Point, and more. If you want to attend the ceremony will begin promptly at 11:00 am today at The Carolina Field of Honor at Triad Park, 9652 W. Market St., Kernersville. Please remember to bring seating and wear a hat if it is sunny.
