On this MEMORIAL DAY, May 25th, everyone is invited to the Auburn Mayor's Memorial Day BREAKFAST at the Hotel at Auburn University and Dixon Conference Center. This traditioanl event, now in its 11th year, honors our country's servicemen---the REAL American Idols...the unsung heroes who fought unflinchingly for our freedoms, the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, and the veterans who carry on the legacy with their lives, contributing their voice of remembrance and reason to their communities.
Tickets can be purchased for $20 each. All proceeds will be contributed to the Auburn Veteran's Memorial fund.
Following the breakfast that begins at 10:00 a.m., everyone is invited to attend a wreath ceremony at the Auburn Veteran's Memorial Monument, located at the corner of Ross and Glenn Avenues.
For more information about the Monument and the Veteran's Committee in Auburn, you are welcome to visit their website here.

Mara-A fitting place of tribute to our brave men and women. Thanks for sharing. <SMILE>
Awesome my small town of Saline does a parade, and then a lunch at the VA. It is very touching and anyone in town turns out.
