One of the most MOVING "small town" Memorial Day observances takes place in Montrose.
The event occurs at the MONTROSE VIETNAM WAR MEMORIAL, the oldest of it's kind in the state of California. This memorial was established 50 years ago in 1968!
There are many poignant moments in which you will find yourself blinking back the tears. It really hits home as we remember and honor those who have given their lives in military service to our country.

What a sight as families, neighbors, merchants, boy scouts, and more gather here in reverent thankfulness!

It's a brief ceremony with keynote speakers U.S. CONGRESSMAN ADAM SCHIFF, California STATE ASSEMBLY WOMAN LAURA FRIEDMAN, Glendale MAYOR ZAREH SINANYAN, and more.
The MONTROSE MEMORIAL CEREMONY takes place at the corner of Honolulu & Ocean View MONDAY, May 28 at 7:45 am. Hope to see you there!
