Memorial Day 2019: Wauwatosa Ceremony, Events
Wauwatosa is home to a patriotic ceremony on Monday. It's also the unofficial start to summer.
WAUWATOSA, WI — Memorial Day is Monday, May 27. For some, Memorial Day is an extra day off of work filled with family gatherings, an outdoor celebration or a chance to get that garden or landscaping work done.
But for all of us, Memorial Day is exactly that, a day set aside to honor the memories of friends, family and loved ones who lost their lives serving our country in the armed forces.
Here are the details for Wauwatosa's Memorial Day observances and special events:
