Memorial Day weekend kicked off in Fulton with a successful 35th annual Memorial Day Salute.

The escort ended at Veteran’s Park across from Fulton City Hall where Fulton City Police blocked off the road to allow spectators to line the street to observe the ceremony held in remembrance of the many military members that took the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation.
