At 1 p.m. on May 27 Tahoma National Cemetery will be celebrating its 15th Memorial Day. The cemetery will be honoring veterans and would like to invite the public to attend the ceremony, honoring those who have gone before us.

Veterans past and present will be honored, including those who are still in harms way. Flags will be lining the cemetery’s Street of Heroes and a flag will be placed on each grave. This is a reverent and glorious time to pay tribute to those men and women who sacrificed their lived for our freedom.

The ceremony will include patriotic music by the Tahoma High School band, a salute to our military forces, veteran soloist and much more. The ceremony will last approximately one hour.

Parking at the cemetery is limited and additional parking is available just up the street at Tahoma High School.
