Americans everywhere will have the opportunity on Monday to join together in body and spirit to honor the sacrifice of those who gave everything to protect freedom and liberty.
During a solemn event on the grounds of the Arlington National Cemetery, the country will watch as a special National Memorial Day Observance ceremony unfolds.
According to Arlington National Cemetery’s website, this marks the 158th Memorial Day Observance for the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. The event is free and open to the public. The ceremony is held in the Memorial Amphitheater, and guests can expect to find seats on a first-come, first-served basis.
The event includes a wreath-laying ceremony at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier (for official participants), and will additionally feature a parade of colors by several veterans’ organizations, per the ANC.
