The honor guard of the Lawrence Dorsey-Liberty American Legion Post fires a rifle salute Monday, May 25, 2020, to mark Memorial Day. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the post had a brief ceremony with the playing of "Taps" and the gun salute in the parking lot of the post rather than its traditional ceremony at Memorial Park Cemetery.
