Memorial Day Event

The Virgin Islands Office of Veterans Affairs and the American Legion are partnering again to observe Memorial Day 2019. The procession will start at Frederiksted Post Office Square and proceed to the Frederiksted Cemetery for the graveside ceremony. After the graveside ceremony, people will proceed to the Frederiksted waterfront (in front of the Verne I. Richards Park) for the seaside service. The Official Commemoration Ceremony will be held on the platform directly adjacent to the Verne I. Richards Veterans Memorial Park on Strand Street, Frederiksted, immediately after. The keynote speaker will be Lt. Col. (Retired) Beresford Edwards.
