The 2010 Mayor's Memorial Day Citizen's Committee invites you to be part of the official City and County of San Francisco's 142^nd Memorial Day Observance. The traditional event will be held at the historic Presidio's San Francisco National Cemetery, on Monday, May 31, 2010. We will have an open parade from the Parade Ground to the cemetery starting at 10:30 a.m., followed by the Formal Ceremony starting at 11 :00 a.m.

We will honor and remember the over one million Americans killed while serving in the United States Armed Forces, with special focus on those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

On this the 60^th Anniversary Commemoration of the start of the Korean War, we will pay tribute to the 54,000 Americans killed worldwide during that war. We will also salute the Korean American Community and local members of the South Korean Armed Forces.

Our observance is recognized as one of the twelve major ceremonies held nationally and is the largest in Northern California. We would be honored to have you participate in our program this year.

So that we will be able to make the proper arrangement, please confirm your participation or if you need additional information, please contact me at 415-748-0613.
