Woodlawn Memorial Park honored our country’s heroes at the 74th annual Memorial Day Ceremony Monday, May 27.
This year’s event included three keynote speakers — U.S. Army National Guard 1st Sgt. Carey Baker, Orange County Sheriff John Mina and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office Color Guard and Windermere High School JROTC presented the colors, while the Scouts USA Troop 210 (Winter Garden) led the presentation of colors and performed the tolling of the Liberty Bell. The Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard performed the rifle volley, and Keith Bolves and the Orlando Concert Band performed a variety of patriotic tunes throughout the event.
At the end of the ceremony, Starke Lake Baptist Church Pastor Jeff Pritchard gave a benediction, and Gold Star family members (those who have lost loved ones) released doves.
