Memorial Day Observance in Wauwatosa

WAUWATOSA — Memorial Day is Monday, May 30. 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 Memorial Day observances in your area.
