Honoring Our Heroes: Memorial Day at the Brownsville Old City Cemetery

As Memorial Day approaches, we invite you to join us in paying tribute to the brave veterans laid to rest at the historic Old City Cemetery. This sacred ground serves as the final resting place for over 450 identified veterans, spanning conflicts from the Indian Wars to the Persian Gulf War.

Among the solemn rows lie soldiers who fought on both sides of the Civil War, symbolizing the unity and reconciliation that defines our nation’s spirit. Additionally, the cemetery is home to veterans of World War I & II, as well as heroes from the Mexican Revolution of the early 1900s.

To honor their service and sacrifice, a U.S. flag will be respectfully placed on the grave of each identified veteran. We welcome volunteers to join us in this poignant tradition of remembrance and gratitude.

Please mark your calendars for Saturday, May 25, 2024, as we gather to reflect on the courage and commitment of those who have served our country. Together, let us ensure that the memory of our fallen heroes lives on in our hearts and minds.

Join us at the Old City Cemetery as we come together to honor, remember, and pay tribute to our nation’s finest.
