The event, presented by the Marin County United Veterans Council and supported by the Marin County Board of Supervisors, honors all American servicemen and servicewomen in the line of duty with a special emphasis on Marin’s own heroes.
Names of local military members who gave their lives on duty are etched into the statues along Avenue of the Flags on the Marin County Civic Center campus. All who wish to observe are welcome to attend.
The Avenue of the Flags ceremony will be hosted by U.S. Army veteran Glenn Ross, President of the United Veterans Council who served during the Persian Gulf War. The event will feature a decorated local combat veteran as a guest speaker (who prefers to remain anonymous prior to the event), patriotic songs played by the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District Non-Marching Band, and the singing voice of Alicia Elkins. The Veterans Council will have color guard and flag raisers, and local elected officials and veterans group representatives will be recognized. After ceremonial wreaths are laid at the foot of statues, “Taps” will be played to conclude the ceremony.
The Memorial Day ceremony will be an outdoors-only event.
Coffee and donuts will be served at 9:00a - the ceremony will begin at 9:30am. Limited seats are available so come early for a chair.
