Our Annual Events
Each year on Memorial Day (the last Monday in May) and on Veterans Day (always November 11) the Memorial Association, in partnership with the City of Yorba Linda, holds a commemorative ceremony at the Memorial. The event is always at 2 pm, and includes the presentation of colors, a keynote speaker, a wreath ceremony, and the reading of the Gold Star Walk of Honor Roll Call, followed by a rifle salute and the playing of Taps.
At each ceremony the heroes’ name is read, a bell tolls in their memory, and a Girl Scout Honor Guard member presents a red rose of remembrance to a family member, if present, or on the brick honoring the fallen hero. The event concludes with “Amazing Grace” played by bagpipers from the Los Angeles Police Emerald Society Pipes and Drums.
Our Next Event:
Veterans Day will take place on Thursday, Nov 11 at 2 pm.
