Please join us for the 11th Annual Veteran's Memorial Tribute Ceremony where we honor the Menomonee Falls military fallen. The ceremony will include a laying of wreaths at the WWII and War Dog Monuments. We will then tell the story of one of our Menomonee Falls military fallen, Private Albert Duwel (WWI). This will be followed by the naming of all of our Menomonee Falls military fallen, a three volley rifle salute and taps. The WWII Monument site in Village Park is where many of the citizens and veterans of Menomonee Falls would hold ceremonies to commemorate historical events since 1947 when the monument was constructed by WWII veterans of Menomonee Falls. Come spend some time at this significant historical place during Memorial Day weekend.
Music will be provided during the ceremony by the Menomonee Falls Symphony Orchestra.
It is recommended that attendees bring their own lawn chair.
****Parking****
There will be minimal parking available on Garfield Drive for this event. Please refrain from parking by the monument if possible as we are reserving this parking for ceremony participants, veterans, disabled and Gold Star family members. Please park on Sheridan Dr. as able, other side streets or potentially in the Middle School parking lot off of Main St. if the parking lot is open.
Please contact Janet Hickle at [email protected] if any further questions. Thank you.
