Memorial Day Program Ceremony

Memorial Day Program with the Portage VFW Post #1707 at Blue Star Park at 11am.
The public is encouraged and invited to attend. There will be no parade this year.
The ceremony will be hosted by the Portage VFW along with the Portage American Legion and Portage Elks.
 
After the ceremony the VFW will be hosting an open house and free community meal open to the public.  No fee for attending the meal, although donations are greatly appreciated.

This event follows a few notable contributions the week prior in honor of our Veterans:

- On Sunday, May 21, 2023 a group of VFW members led by Dave Duvall placed flags on Veterans graves at Oak Grove Cemetery.
 
- On Monday, May 22, 2023 a group of American Legion members led by Dean Simonson and assisted by students from St. John's School placed flags on Veteran's graves at Silver Lake and St. Mary's Cemeteries.
 
- On Saturday, May 27, 2023 the VFW will be set up the mock cemetery across from Blue Star Park.
