2024 Milton Memorial Day Ceremony to take place Monday, May 27

Milton’s Director of Veterans Services Kevin J Cook, American Legion Post #114 and the Town of Milton announce that Milton’s 2024 Memorial Day program have been finalized.

This year’s Memorial Day Observance is scheduled for Monday, May 27th 2024. Ceremonies will begin at the Town Hall at 10:45 a.m. with the raising of the flag and placement of wreaths at the Town’s War Memorial by local Veterans.

Shortly after this flag raising, elected state and local officials, Milton Police and Fire Department Color Guards, the Auxiliary Fire Department and Milton’s scout troops will proceed to Milton Cemetery accompanied by the Milton High School marching band.

The main ceremony will be at Milton Cemetery and begin at 11:00 a.m. Welcoming remarks will be given by Milton’s Director of Veterans Services Kevin J Cook, Cemetery Trustees and local officials.

Our featured speaker will be Republic of Korea Consul General Kim Jae-hui. He is the representative for the Korean government here in the New England area and will speak on the importance of that relationship. He will also address the sacrifices made by our military and all they have done for the people of South Korea.

A roll call of all recently deceased veterans will be read as a tribute to the service of these men and women. All residents, friends and family are cordially invited to attend the Memorial Day Observance.

If it rains on Memorial Day, the ceremony will be held at the Council on Aging Building, 10 Walnut Street Milton MA.
