Join the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs for Oregon’s annual Statewide Memorial Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. on Monday, May 25, at the Oregon State Capitol State Park in Salem.

The ceremony honors Oregon’s fallen service members from all eras and will include remarks from dignitaries, a color guard, wreath laying, the national anthem and the playing of “Taps.”

The celebration will be hosted at the Oregon State Capitol State Park, located directly across the street from the front entrance of the Oregon State Capitol Building, 900 Court Street NE in Salem. This event is being temporarily relocated from its traditional annual location at the World War II Memorial due to adjacent construction taking place on the Capitol grounds.

The event is open to the public with accessible seating available. For those unable to attend in person, the ceremony will also be livestreamed on ODVA’s page at www.facebook.com/odvavet

In addition to the Capitol ceremony, ODVA maintains a Statewide Memorial Day Events Calendar highlighting local observances and community celebrations honoring Oregon’s fallen heroes.
