Memorial Day Celebration 

Eagle Point Cemetary

Monday, May 27th, 2024 there will be a Memorial Day Ceremony at Eagle Point National Cemetery, ceremony starts at 10 a.m.. The Old Guard Riders have stood a Flagline for many years and will be handing out water to all attending the event that day. So come on out and help remember our fallen. 

Why attending a Memorial Day commemoration matters...

Your attendance at one of these formal observances each year matters for two reasons. First, Oregon history and American history matter. Part of our civic responsibility is understanding that history as it pertains to war and helping our children understand it. Attending a Memorial Day service is a powerful, hands-on way to gain some of that understanding. Second, Memorial Day is completely unique as a holiday, or any day we have really, in its particular focus: to get us to reflect on the nature of major sacrifice. What can we learn from and feel about those who died in war for our country and local communities? What does it mean to sacrifice for something bigger than oneself?
