After spending time having fun in the sun all weekend, the City tributes what is most important about this holiday, and that is the remembrance of the military personnel who have died while serving our country. The City of Cape May, in conjunction with the American Legion Post 193 and VFW Post 386, will conduct a Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 29, 2023 at 11:00 AM to honor our fallen heroes. The Remembrance will take place at Soldiers and Sailors Park, located at Gurney Street and Columbia Avenue in Cape May. 

Immediately following the ceremony in the park, at approximately Noon, the United States Coast Guard Training Center Cape May detachments will participate with Flotilla 82 of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary in presenting the Rifle Salute and launching of the flower boat from Gurney Street Beach.  

At the conclusion of the Flotilla Ceremony, the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary flower boat will be moved to Cove Beach at the end of Beach Avenue where it will be on display for the public to view for the rest of the day. This is an opportunity for the public to take in the beauty of the flowers in memory of those military members who lost their lives in service to our country. The display will be staffed by members of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 82-Cape May. 

The public is encouraged to attend these ceremonies to honor our Military Veterans.
