Honoring Our Veterans in Sea Isle City
Boy Scout Troop 76 assists with the Memorial Day ceremony each year.
Memorial Day Ceremony
May 26
Sea Isle City invites the community to honor and remember our nation's heroes with Mayor Leonard Desiderio at its annual Memorial Day ceremony at 10am at Veterans Park (JFK Boulevard and Landis Avenue). The mayor will be joined by local and county officials and veterans to honor the fallen during this ceremony that will include speeches and prayers for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Wreaths will also be placed at Memorial Fountain in honor of these men and women. VFW Post 1963 of Sea Isle City will conduct a Memorial Roll Call to honor the deceased. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Boy Scout Troop 76 will lead attendees to the JFK Boulevard beach for a special tribute to honor the nation’s naval deceased. Members of the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol will row floral arrangements beyond the breakers and send them adrift in honor of those who left us too soon. In the event of rain, the ceremony will be moved to the Community Lodge at 300 JFK Blvd. For additional details, please call 609-263-4461, Ext. 1245.
