2024 Memorial Day ceremony May 24 in Stafford County
Stafford’s 2024 Memorial Day Ceremony will be a poignant tribute to the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, a day that holds deep meaning due to the sacrifice of the Boutchyard family.
Marvin, a survivor of the storming of Omaha Beach, and Mercer, who fought in the Battle for Okinawa, made the ultimate sacrifice. Their cousin, Marshal Boutchyard, an MP in the Army National Guard, will lay a wreath in their memory.
The keynote speaker will be Benjamin Brands, American Battle Monuments Commission Historian.
The ceremony will take place on Friday, May 24, at 10 a.m. at the Armed Services Memorial, located on the campus of the George L. Gordon, Jr., Government Center, 1300 Courthouse Road, Stafford, VA 22554.
