The Vigil will start at 7:30 pm.

We encourage all citizens to attend this important event as we give back to those who have given their all. Please help us welcome the Families of the Fallen from the States of Oregon, Idaho, Hawaii and Alaska for the first time. The Memoral Ceremony will begin at 11:00 am.
