From the Mayor's Office:
This Memorial Day we reflect on the lives and sacrifices of our military service members in Burlington, Vermont, and across the nation who have given their lives for our liberty. I hope that you will join me and members of VFW Post 782 this Memorial Day, May 29 at 11:00 am at Battery Park.
Vermont has a proud tradition of military service which has a positive impact on our City. In our military service members, veterans, and their families – we see a model of courage, dedication, and selflessness. In them, we see a value that all Burlingtonians hold dear – the value of neighborliness.
This beautiful annual Memorial Day observance is always moving, and a time for us to gather as a community to share our gratitude and offer remembrance for those Burlingtonians we have lost over generations of wars, foreign and domestic.
