Fort Campbell, Ky. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – In observance of the Memorial Day federal holiday, Monday, May 25, Blanchfield Army Community Hospital outpatient services, including outpatient pharmacies, will be closed.
BACH Emergency Center, labor and delivery, inpatient services and supporting emergency services remain open 24/7. The COVID Clinic and Triage Line will remain open normal hours on the holiday.
“As we honor the fallen warriors who gave their lives in defense of our nation this Memorial Day weekend, let’s remember their courage, their legacy and their service. Military service men and women continue to answer our nation’s call no matter the threat. This year, our observance of Memorial Day may be different from previous years while we help slow the spread of COVID-19 by keeping appropriate social distance,” said Col. Patrick T. Birchfield, Blanchfield Army Community Hospital commander.
“Instead of large events, we can remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in a more private way. Tour the memorials on post and say a silent, “thank you” for the sacrifices of those who came before us. Pause for a Moment of Remembrance on Monday, May 25, and think about any veterans in your family who have passed on. Consider reaching out to a Gold Star family and sharing your appreciation for their sacrifices. Thank you for remembering our fellow soldiers and their selfless service.”
