Memorial Day Ceremony 2014

 These flags, at the corner of Honolulu and Ocean View,  commemorate those from the Crescenta-Canada Valley who have given their lives in military service.
 The names of these men are listed on our Vietnam War Memorial, the oldest one in the nation.
 This year's ceremony was organized and hosted by the Montrose Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce (Pat Longo, left) and the Montrose Shopping Park ( Steve Pierce, center, Dale Dawson).
 Bagpiper Bobby Kilgore introduces the ceremony by crossing Honolulu Ave. playing "Amazing Grace".
 Men in uniform, neighbors, politicians, merchants, and scouts gather together to honor those that gave their lives for our freedom.
 Congressman Adam Schiff, State Assemblyman Mike Gatto, Glendale Mayor Zareh Sinanyan, L.A. County Supervisor Mike Antonovich, and Glendale City Council members Frank Quintero and Laura Friedman were part of the ceremony.
On this day the flag flies at half mast.
