Memorial Day Ceremony & Flag Raising

The City of Litchfield Park will be remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces with a brief, yet memorable, Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 27th at 7:00 a.m.  The ceremony will take place in front of the World War II Memorial on the west side of Litchfield Elementary School.  

The program will be led by Litchfield Park Mayor Thomas L. Schoaf and will include the placing of floral tributes at the memorial, followed by a prayer and moment of silence. Taps will be played in honor of the brave men and women who died while serving our country. Known surviving service members and family members of those listed on the WWII Monument will be invited to attend. The ceremony is expected to last approximately 30 minutes and is open to the public. Refreshments will be served to attendees at the close of the ceremony.
