On a day to honor and mourn those who have lost their lives in service and battle, the Sturgeon Bay Fire Department hosted a memorial service on Monday morning.
Brief ceremonies were conducted at Bayside Cemetery at 8:30 a.m., St. Joseph’s Cemetery at 9:00 a.m., and Sturgeon Bay Health Services at 9:30 a.m, before the final ceremony at the fire station began at 10:00 a.m. From the reading of names of local veterans who have fallen in wars to a salute with the sounding of taps, the service was a fitting way to cap off the Memorial Day weekend of remembrance.
Members of the Peninsula Symphonic Band under the direction of Jason Palmer (pictured below) played patriotic songs before and after the service. You can see pictures of the event below.
