Upcoming Memorial Day Ceremony 2008
Memorial Day activities will be held on Monday, May 26, 2008. This year, our ceremony will be held at 11:00 a.m. at the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery, 1501 West Maryland Avenue in North Little Rock. We will combine both the traditional ceremonies that were held at the Broadway Bridge and the Little Rock National Cemetery into one event at the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery.
The Little Rock National Cemetery is now closed to new interments and we believe that this year’s ceremony will bring more attention to our state cemetery. Many of our veterans and the general public are unfamiliar with the cemetery and its location. We hope that you will join us in remembering our veterans and help us in informing the community of the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery and the significance of Memorial Day.
For more information, please contact our Public Affairs Specialist at 501-370-3820.
The Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery is located just north of the North Little Rock Airport.
