Virginia Beach will honor and pay tribute to all members of the armed forces during a formal ceremony for Memorial Day, noon-1 p.m., Monday, May 27, at the Tidewater Veterans Memorial, 1000 19th St., across from the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
Hosted by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. “Bobby” Dyer and the Mayor’s Committee for Veterans, the ceremony honors those who "who gave their all," and features flyovers, 21-gun salute, reading of honored veteran names and remarks from distinguished guests. It is free and open to the public.
Military commands and organizations are invited to bring wreaths to place at the memorial during the formal ceremony on behalf of their organization.

The flags will remain in place for one week.
