Memorial Day Ceremony

Historic Gulf Cemetery will host its annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 27 at 10AM sharp. The 105-year-old cemetery is located at 1466 S County Highway 393 in Santa Rosa Beach. The 132 veterans interred in the cemetery will be honored in a service that will include a keynote speech by Retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and F-15 Fighter Pilot, Scott Warner. The Cloud 9 Orchestra will return to play patriotic music during the ceremony. There will be a military aircraft flyover during the national anthem and the Walton County Sheriff’s Honor Guard will provide a ceremonial volley salute to the fallen. The ceremony will conclude with a “missing man” flyover formation performed with WWII aircraft by the Destin Warbirds. This annual Memorial Day ceremony is a wonderful opportunity for the entire family to join in a dignified, respectful and patriotic tribute to the men and women who served our country in the Armed Forces and paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the children present will be provided American flags to place on each of the veterans’ gravesites. We hope you will join us and make this year’s event the best one to date! For more information, please visit to gulfcemetery.org.
