Hosted by Los Cerritos Neighborhood Association
I’m writing to invite you to join us for a brief but powerful tribute this Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, 2026, at Los Cerritos Park. This year marks our first time hosting this gathering, and it is our hope that this will become a new annual tradition for our community to come together and reflect.
We will be participating in Taps Across America, a national movement where musicians and citizens gather at 3:00 PM local time to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. This coincides with the National Moment of Remembrance, a minute of silence established by Congress to ensure the true meaning of the day remains at the heart of our commemorations.
