Memorial Day in Gresham Wednesday, May 30, 2007

Members of the Columbia River Marine Corps League line up to present the colors May 28 at the Memorial Day ceremony in Gresham's Main City Park.

More than 100 people gathered at Main City Park in Gresham Monday to honor veterans and the fallen on Memorial Day. You can read more about the ceremony in the Outlook.

The ceremony was held at the future site of the Gresham Heroes Memorial. Once enough funding has been secured for the project, that corner of the park will honor those who have served their country or community in any branch of the military, police, or fire services. You can read more about that project here.
