The South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs will host a Memorial Day program and ribbon cutting ceremony Monday (May 31, 2021) at the new State Veterans Cemetery in Sioux Falls– and a Pierre based company is going to help get people to it.
Jess Marlow with River Cities Public Transit says parking at the Cemetery is very limited, so folks are encouraged to meet at the South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance Building (at 1600 W. Russell Street) in Sioux Falls to take one of the River Cities buses to and from the event.
Marlow says bus rides to the event will start at noon and will run until 1:45pm.
Monday’s ceremony at the new South Dakota Veterans Cemetery begins at 2pm (CT). Construction of the initial phase of the cemetery is complete, with interments scheduled to begin the first week of June 2021.
The cemetery project was funded through a grant from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, National Cemetery Administration, as well as general funds from the State of South Dakota. The cemetery will be owned by the State of South Dakota and operated by the South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs.
