9/11 tribute destined for Slayton and ‘26 Murray County Fair

The Slayton American Legion Erwin March Post 64 has always strived to keep fallen soldiers in our hearts and minds, and it will continue that tradition in 2026.

The Legion has booked the “Remember Our Fallen Traveling Tribute” for Aug. 11-16, which coincides with the Murray County Fair. It will be the penultimate stop for the tribute tour, which after will be on display for the final time in New York to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. After Sept. 11, 2026, the tribute will be retired from touring.
