About this event

Join the Intrepid Museum for a Memorial Day ceremony honoring the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who have given their lives in defense of our nation. Civic and military leaders will offer remarks and join in a special wreath-laying ceremony in honor of the fallen. The ceremony concludes with veterans unfurling a 100-foot U.S. flag, the playing of Taps, and a flyover by Navy fighter jets.
