Memorial Day Weekend in Jacksonville NC

Memorial Day Observance - Monday, May 30, 11AM

Join us as we honor our heroes. Monday, May 30, 2021 at 11AM, the Beirut Memorial Chapter 642 will host the annual Memorial Day Observance at the Lejeune Memorial Gardens behind the Eagle Globe and Anchor (future site for the Museum of the Marine.) The observance is typically located at the Onslow Veterans Cemetery across from Lejeune Memorial Gardens, but is moved due to construction for 2022. The event is open to the public, and will occur rain or shine. The observance will be recorded for broadcast on g10tv.org and the City's YouTube Channel.
