This service will include a keynote speech by Captain Martha J. LaGuardia. This years ceremony will feature the Civil War Era including musical arrangements from the period. As a matter of fact, three Civil War veterans are interred at the cemetery. Our theme captures the essence of standing united in the cause of freedom--WE is greater than me.
Several of our community organizations will be on hand to assist in the ceremony. Folks are encouraged to bring umbrellas and/or personal lawn chairs. A limited number of folding chairs will be provided.
This ceremony is a wonderful opportunity for the entire family to join in a dignified, respectful, and patriotic tribute to the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom in service to our country in the United States Armed Forces.

GULF CEMETERY
Gulf Cemetery traditionally hosts public events twice at year. The first event this year will take place on Memorial Day, May 29th, 2023 and our second is Wreaths Across America, held in mid-December. These are both meaningful opportunities for the public to come visit Gulf Cemetery and remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to America.
