We would be honored to have our community attend on Friday, May 23, 2025 on the front steps of City Hall at 12:00 p.m. for the city’s annual Memorial Day Commemorative Ceremony, as we honor our nations heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice and helped secure our freedom and liberties.

I want to thank Veterans’ Services Joe DeCaro and his dedicated staff for their continued efforts on behalf of our veterans. We want to acknowledge and honor the memory of our brave and dedicated veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.
