It's probably going to be a very wet Memorial Day Weekend.

Biloxi is the most patriotic city in MS, according to Insurify.  They recognize one city in each state annually, by analyzing the highest percentage of current and former military service members.  More than 14-thousand are stationed or work at Keesler Air Force Base, and there are more than 113-thousand military retirees living in the area.  Of course, you’ll also see personnel from the Seabee Base in Gulfport, and the National Guard.  

Memorial Day Observances:

Everyone is welcome at a concert and Memorial Service to honor the heroes who have preserved our freedoms, Saturday at the Diamondhead Country Club.  The free event begins with the concert at 10:50am.  255-2918 for more info
