Dating all the way back to 1868, May 30 has been a day to honor and remember those who have lost their lives in service to our country. In 1868 it was called Decoration Day because the tradition involved decorating grave sites of the Civil War soldiers with flowers, flags and wreaths.
The annual Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony will be held in Navarre Park on Monday, May 30 from 11 a.m. – noon. Memorial Day is a day set aside to honor those that lost their lives in service to our country.
