Join the City of Mission Viejo to honor the service and sacrifice of our service men and women during a special Memorial Day ceremony at 8:30 a.m. Monday, May 28 at the Mission Viejo Civic Center, 200 Civic Center.

Petty Officer First Class Edward Smith will serve as the keynote speaker, discussing the importance of remembering the people who died while serving in our country's armed forces. He will be joined by Vietnam veteran Frank Pangborn, an author, actor, musician and Orange County Native.

The Memorial Day ceremony will include a color guard; rifle salute; and Taps as well as famed singer Dawn Wright performing the National Anthem.
