You will not want to miss this opportunity to remember our fallen. this is a one-day exhibit only.

According to organizers:

“Why do we need the Tribute Wall.? Because it is a symbol through which collectively we will pay particular tribute to our countrymen who stepped forward, put their lives on the line and defended the many freedoms we cherish. It’s because of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who never returned home to their loved ones that we must never forget the importance of the Tribute Wall.”

Parking will be available at Monte Vista High School – next to Oak Hill Park.

Memorial Day Remembrance Program today: Seating begins at 10 a.m., the Danville Community Band begins at 10:30 a.m. and the Remembrance Program at 11 a.m.
