This year, the Forgotten Soldiers Outreach Memorial Day Service carries even greater significance this year as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary. For nearly two and a half centuries, our freedoms have come at a cost, secured through the sacrifice of brave men and women who served our country.
Why the FSO Memorial Day Service Matters
The Forgotten Soldiers Outreach Memorial Day Service is more than a ceremony, it is a time to pause, reflect, and honor those who gave everything for our freedom.
From the patriots of 1776 to today’s service members, each generation has answered the call to serve. This gathering brings together families, veterans, and community members to ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten.
Honoring Service and Legacy
This year’s ceremony will feature distinguished speakers, including U.S. Army Veteran Donald L. Lanman and Karen Christie of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Their presentation, “250 Years of Freedom,” highlights the enduring legacy of service and sacrifice.
Attendees will experience military honors, color guards, patriotic music, and participation from local JROTC units and scouting organizations. These elements create a meaningful and educational experience for all ages.
The service will conclude with a traditional wreath presentation and dove release, symbolizing peace, remembrance, and hope.
A Community United in Remembrance
Beyond the ceremony, the event offers a welcoming, family-friendly environment. Seating, refreshments, and opportunities to connect will be available for all attendees.
Community partners and sponsors play a vital role in making this event possible. Their support reflects the power of coming together to honor those who served.
Continuing the Mission
At Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, our mission extends beyond Memorial Day. We support deployed service members year-round through care packages and messages of encouragement. These efforts remind them they are never forgotten.
