FORT HUNTER LIGGETT, Calif. – Fort Hunter Liggett is taking the helm for the annual Memorial Day Ceremony at the King City Cemetery.

The Ceremony is scheduled for Monday, May 25 at 1:00 p.m. The video will be made available after the ceremony on the Fort Hunter Liggett YouTube and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service platforms, as well as their Facebook page.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the King City VFW Post 6747 will not be conducting the ceremony, but they will be placing flags and the wreath rack at the cemetery entrance from 7:00-9:00 a.m.
The public is invited to place a wreath to honor a loved one on the wreath rack from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Please adhere to the CDC guidelines for social distancing and the wearing of face masks.
The Fort Hunter Liggett Garrison Commander will be the keynote speaker and the Garrison Chaplain will conduct the invocation. A wreath on behalf of the Fort Hunter Liggett community will be presented during the event. King City Mayor Mike LeBarre will make opening remarks.

This is a no-participation event due to the COVID-19 environment. Only Fort Hunter Liggett Soldiers and staff should be at the cemetery. Media are invited to cover the event only if social distancing can be adhered to.  # # #
