Memorial Day events

The Shafter Cemetery will be the site for the annual Memorial Day Observance Ceremony on Monday, May 27, at 10 a.m. The ceremony recognizes all of the brave men and women who have served the country in the military, and honors those who have passed away and serves to thank them for their service and sacrifice.

The ceremony is put on by the Ladies Auxiliary and includes the reading of a special poem honoring those soldiers who have passed on, as well as a guest speaker who talks about the importance of observing this day and thanking those who have made freedom possible.
