Throughout Memorial Day weekend, I had the privilege of being able to attend numerous veterans events at the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center (BVMC) Park and Amphitheatre.

On Friday, May 22, Rolling Thunder Florida Chapter 1 started gearing up for a day-long rally on Saturday, which culminated in Rolling Thunder's ###VIII Annual Ride for Freedom on Sunday, May 24. The Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom is a yearly motorcycle rally that advocates for the return of Prisoners of War (POWs) and Missing in Action (MIA) service members. Riders gathered in Merritt Island from numerous states, including Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, to name just a few.

On Monday, May 25, the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center conducted its annual Memorial Day Ceremony at the BVMC Plaza.

The weekend's events served as a solemn reminder of the true meaning of Memorial Day, which is to honor and to mourn all of the military personnel that have died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Never forget.

Please be advised that the Merritt Island Redevelopment Agency and other Brevard County Government offices and departments will be closed on Monday, May 25, in honor of Memorial Day. Emergency services personnel will remain on duty during this time.
