The Master of the Ceremony was Tom Lindsey. The ceremony began with the raising of the flag by the Pickens County Explorers with assistant adviser, Danny Palmer. The “National Anthem” was sung by the PHS Sweet Tones along with the PHS Marching Band.

The invocation was by Bud Champlin, Chaplin-American Legion Post 49. Next came the reading of the names on the monument by Tom Lindsey. The drum roll was done by the PHS Band and bell toll by Lion, Mark Miller. The Pickens County Explorers then placed the wreaths at the monument.
