Juneteenth commemorates the day when 250,000 slaves in the state of Texas, which became the last bastion for slavery during the final days of the Civil War, were declared free by the U.S. Army. Since then, celebrations have been held to remember the significance of June 19th. The Killeen Platoon will be supporting the Temple VA in its efforts to celebrate Juneteenth.
