This year’s Memorial Day Ceremony took place on Friday, May 30 — traditional Memorial Day — at noon on the Parade Ground at the APP War Memorial. The “Ceremony in Silence” included a solemn wreath-laying and the playing of “Taps.” The public was invited to attend and reflect during the moving tribute.
