Coronado’s 68th annual Memorial Day ceremony returns to Star Park on May 25 at 10 a.m.
This long-standing tradition, sponsored by the City of Coronado and the Coronado Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2422, is one of the city’s primary days of remembrance for those who have sacrificed their lives for the United States.
The event will include a presentation of colors by the Coronado High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps color guard, along with tributes by family members of those who have died in service. The event has been a cornerstone of the community since 1958.
Maj. Gen. Thomas B. Savage from the United States Marine Corps will be this year’s guest speaker.
Following the ceremony, the public is invited to VFW Post 2422, at 557 Orange Ave., for a light community lunch to continue the day of reflection.
