2020MemorialDay

25 MAY 2020 - ROLAND, IOWA: FLOYD RITLAND (center), 93, a veteran of World War II, talks to people in Roland Cemetery, in Roland, Iowa, a farming community an hour north of Des Moines. In 2020, most public Memorial Day events in Iowa were canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but some families, including the Ritlands, had their own private events. Memorial Day is a federal holiday to honori and mourn the military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May.
