Good Morning,
Monday, May 29 is Memorial Day. This is what Redwood City has planned for the occasion:
Looking to spend some time outside? California State Parks is honoring the service of veterans, and active and reserve military members, by offering free admission to 130 participating state parks this Memorial Day. More information here.
Two local cemeteries will be hosting ceremonies to pay tribute to America's veterans.
Since 1889, Union Cemetary has honored and remembered America's veterans each Memorial Day. This year, the cemetery will host Jack Grandsaert, retired San Mateo County Superior court judge to pay tribute to veterans. The ceremony will include presentation of the colors, decoration of soldiers' graves with flowers, music by local high school groups and an anvil firing. Union Cemetery is located at 316 Woodside Rd. and the ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 29.
In San Bruno, Golden Gate National Cemetery will host its 71st annual Memorial Day observance from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The program includes a band concert at 10:30 a.m., speeches, vocalists, the Army color guard, U.S. Volunteers rifle detail and a Coast Guard flyover. An $8 luncheon will follow at the American Legion Hall (757 San Mateo Ave., San Bruno), with proceeds benefiting the American Legion Auxiliary and the Avenue of Flags Committee.
And remember, tomorrow is the last day of Peninsula Restaurant Week!
Thank you Patti Yukawa for today's photo "Walk among the Giants" taken on San Mateo's trails.
Have a great weekend.
