CAPE MAY, N.J. - Staff at Training Center Cape May hold a Memorial Day observance on base, May 31, 2021.
Annually on Memorial Day, a federal holiday that falls on
the last Monday of May, Americans honor and mourn those members of our Armed Forces who gave their last full measure of devotion in the defense of our great Nation.
This Memorial Day, Adm. Karl Schultz, commandant of the Coast Guard, called on all members of the Coast Guard to reflect on the service and sacrifice of all American military personnel who died in the performance of their military duties, and to pay tribute to these heroes and to honor the family members they left behind.
