Hutto will commemorate the nation's fallen soldiers during the city's Sunset Block Party Bash May 24.

What's happening?

The Hutto Richard A. Oman American Legion Post 302, an organization supporting veterans and national patriotism, will conduct a remembrance ceremony honoring service members killed in action during the event.
