Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship Church Hosts Memorial Day Service Sunday

Retired Rear Admiral Tim Ziemer, a Vietnam War Veteran and U.S. Global malaria coordinator, will speak at a Memorial Day service at 9 a.m. Sunday at Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship Church, 1151 S. Cedar Crest Blvd., Salisbury Township.

The service will pay tribute to those who paid the ultimate price in serving the country and will honor all veterans and service men and women. Veterans are encouraged to come in military uniform or to wear their medals and hats. 

Ziemer, raised in Asia as the son of missionary parents serving in Vietnam, joined the U.S. Navy after graduating from Wheaton College, completed flight school, and returned to Vietnam during the war. He commanded several squadrons, naval stations, and an air wing supporting the first Gulf War. He served as executive director of World Relief, based in Baltimore, until June 2006, when he was appointed to lead the President's Malaria Initiative in controlling malaria in Africa. 

A reception will follow in the church's Activity Center.
