Celebrate our freedoms at one of these Palm Beach County Memorial Day events.
To honor the U.S. military personnel who sacrificed their lives defending freedom and democracy, several Memorial Day events will take place in Palm Beach County.
Originally known as Decoration Day, this holiday began from the tradition of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths, and flags. Memorial Day is a time to remember those who answered the call and stood for what is right. It honors those who defended the freedoms we enjoy, faced combat, braved the high seas, and battled valiantly in the skies, ultimately giving their lives.
Take some time today to remember and honor them.
