NEWS RELEASE - Memorial Day Flag Lowering, Washington State Memorial Day Events & Observances, and Memorial Day Observance at State Veterans Cemetery
Statewide — Public Invited to Honor and Recognize Memorial Day across Washington State
Memorial Day is the one day set aside for the specific purpose of honoring those that have given their lives in defense of our great nation. It is a day to remember their sacrifice and
their courage to be willing to give it. We remember our loved ones. They are our friends, our family, and our fellow service members. The calendar says we set aside one special day…,
but our hearts and minds know we remember them always. - WDVA Director, David Puente Jr.
