2022 Memorial Day Ceremony at Stillwater Veterans Memorial - 11:30AM

A Memorial Day ceremony at the Stillwater Veterans Memorial will begin at 11:30 a.m., Monday, May 30th to honor St. Croix Valley area casualties of war.  The ceremony will include music by the Croix Chordsmen and Stillwater Area High School band.  A flag raising and flyover by the T-6 Thunder Flight Team is planned for noon.

The Stillwater Veterans Memorial honors on Memorial Day and every day the 125 former students of Stillwater schools who have been killed in all our nation’s wars from the Civil War through Vietnam. Of that number 8 are still missing and 23 never returned home and are interred in 13 American Battle Monument Cemeteries throughout the world. In their honor and remembrance, four T-6 WWII aircraft will be overflying in formation over the Stillwater Veterans Memorial (the former Stillwater High School) and present day Junior High School and Senior High School at 12:00 noon on Memorial Day.

The Stillwater Veterans Memorial is at Third and Pine Streets in Stillwater.  While some seating will be provided, attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs.
