Memorial Day Walk of Honor
May 26 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
The Bonham Area Chamber of Commerce proudly announces the annual Walk of Honor to beheld at 9:00am at the Sam Rayburn Memorial Veterans Center at 1201 E 9th St Bonham, TX on Memorial Day, Monday May 26th, 2025.
Participants will gather east of the main building at 9:00am for an invocation and pledge of allegiance led by local organizations, American Legion Anderson Robertson Post 283 and VFW James E Bragg Post 4852 before joining in a somber walk to honor loved ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Participants are encouraged to represent loved ones by carrying photos and sharing their stories and memories.
It was in 1948 that speaker of the house Sam Rayburn worked to establish the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Bonham in order to better serve the veterans of northeast Texas. It is for this reason that the Bonham Area Chamber of Commerce has chosen to honor our veterans and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice on these grounds as it is an accessible location for residents of the VA Nursing Home and the neighboring Clyde W Cosper State Veterans Home.
This is a free event that all members of the Bonham community and surrounding areas are invited to attend, regardless of veteran or military status. The Bonham Area Chamber of Commerce will provide small flags for participants to carry and take home following the event.
