| Memorial Day
2010
Bellevue Memorial Park will pay tribute to our country’s
veterans once again this year, honoring them at the annual Memorial
Day Services and Celebration which will take place on Monday, May
31st, 2010, in the park’s “Memorial” Veterans Section. A Memorial
Mass will be celebrated at 8:30 am in the Bellevue Mausoleum Chapel,
followed by the Memorial Day Celebration at 10:00am. Joining with
Bellevue to honor our Veterans will be the Ontario-Chaffey Community
Show Band, under the direction of Jack Mercer, local community Veterans
and Service Organizations, along with Ontario City Officials and
special guest speakers. |
| As a community service, local Cub Scout
and Boy Scout troops will be placing flags and crosses on all veteran’s
graves the Saturday prior to the Memorial Day Celebration, a tradition
which they undertake each year. The Scouts place an American flag
on each veteran’s grave, some of which date back as far as the Civil
War, in remembrance of those who died for our freedoms.
Please make a note on your calendar to join us for this traditional
Memorial Day Service which will include patriotic music, uplifting
messages, a fly over by the Ontario Police Department, and gun salute.
The Board of Trustees, General Manager, staff, and
grounds crew would like to thank all of the groups and organizations
who participate in the program each year, as well as the community
for their support in honoring our nation’s veterans.
