Happy Memorial Day, Lafayette Oaks! If you're looking for a way to pay your respects to the brave men and women who have served our country, head over to the Memorial Day Ceremony at the National Cemetery. This is the largest Memorial Day celebration in the Bay Area, and it takes place at the Presidio at 10:30 a.m.
The celebration begins with a parade beginning at the Main Post and ending at the National Cemetary. It features the 191st Army Band and numerous veterans organizations, and it lasts around 30 minutes. Next, watch a 21-gun salute by the U.S. Army's 75th Pacific Division before taking a tour of the cemetary's historic grounds.
