Flagler County’s Memorial Day Ceremony is at 10 a.m., at the Government Services Building, 1769 E. Moody Blvd. (State Road 100), in Bunnell. The event will have a special meaning for Palm Coast resident Samuel Natalicchio.
The World War II, U.S. Army veteran will be presented with the Knight of Legion of Honor sent to Flagler County by the French Republic. Gael de Maisonneuve, the consul general of France, sent a letter recently informing the Palm Coast resident of the honor.
Maisonneuve wrote: “Without your bravery, and that of those who fought alongside you, France and Europe might have never been liberated from the barbarity of the Nazi occupation. ... It is our pleasure to award you France’s highest military distinction.”
The event is sponsored by the County Commission and the Flagler County Veterans Advisory Council. The keynote speaker is Harry Gilman, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel chaplain.
