SOUTHERN COLORADO (KOAA) — If you're looking for ways to honor those who died serving our country, several events are happening on Memorial Day in our area.
You can view some ceremonies that will be happening in southern Colorado below:
Evergreen Cemetery
One of the busiest cemeteries in Colorado Springs is the historic Evergreen Cemetery. There are almost 80,000 burial sites at the cemetery. Staff will be on hand all weekend to assist visitors at the cemetery.
Pikes Peak National Cemetery
The ceremony, which starts at 10 a.m., will feature music from the New Horizons concert band, the Color Guard, and guest speakers. More than 2,000 people are expected this year, so the cemetery has teamed up with Redemption Hill Church to offer overflow parking. Shuttles at the church will bring guests to the ceremony.
