Village of Orland Park Memorial Day Ceremony

Village of Orland Park, Neighbor

The Village of Orland Park’s Memorial Day Ceremonies are poignant tributes to those who have died serving our country. Flags from each of the 50 states billow as they provide a colorful frame for the village’s towering memorial, Ara Pace – Place of Peace. Bagpipes wail as lines of veterans file in for the presentation of colors as audience members silently rise to their feet.

Orland Park’s Memorial Day Ceremony will be held Monday, May 30 at 1:00 p.m. at the village’s memorial, located in the Village Center at 14700 South Ravinia Avenue.

Colors will be presented by members of the American Legion Orland Memorial Post #111 and the Orland-Palos Reber-Tesmond Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #2604. Orland Park Cub Scout Pack 383 will again serve as an honor guard for the procession of veterans.
