The Elmhurst Veterans Memorial
Each Sunday, from mid-April through October 31, a Ceremony is held at the site at 1:00 p.m. At each Memorial Ceremony, one veteran in particular is honored. The Veterans Memorial Honor Guard Team will play tribute to the deceased by raising the casket flag and lowering the branch of service flag in his or her honor to half staff for that full week. The Roll of Remembrance, mounted on a granite pedestal, will display the deceased veteran's name and a brief military history of the veteran.
A form is provided if you would like to apply to have a deceased veteran honored at the weekly Ceremony. Please click here.
