Out of respect for those who gave their lives in service to our country, we respectfully request that no political or protest activities be conducted during the parade or ceremony. While we fully support everyone’s First Amendment rights, we humbly ask that this event not be used as a platform for political expression. Memorial Day is a time set aside to honor and remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, and we appreciate the community’s understanding and support in preserving the dignity of this day.

Thank you all for your patriotism, support, and participation!
