Title: Green Hills Memorial Day Observance
Post by: Josh on May 08, 2008, 06:46:31 PM
Come and honor those who have fallen in defense of our country and in the name of freedom. Bring your family and friends to pay tribute to our American heroes.

The largest, best attended Memorial Day Service in Southern California will include a Parade of Colors presented by all branches of the Armed Forces, Veterans' Groups, ROTC and Police and Fire Departments. The parade will be lead by the Lomita Sheriff's Mounted Posse and the Cabar Feidh Pipe Band. Our traditional favorites, the 21st Century Skydivers will be joined by two members of the Navy Seals skydiving team. Aerial tributes from Military and Civilian fly-bys, including the Torrance Classics, as well as dove and balloon releases will be part of the ceremony.

(Come early to allow time for parking and transport to the ceremony site)
Admission is Free

I didn't go this year, but close to 12:30ish I saw a March ARB coded C-17 do a pass from my balconey.

There was a flight of 4 T-6s and two other aircraft fly over earlier also.
