MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Miami Beach commemorated Memorial Day on Monday.
The event, held outside of the Miami Beach Police Department, featured a wreath-laying ceremony, a 21-gun salute and a performance by the Girl Scouts to honor the sacrifices of fallen veterans.
“I’m a veteran, but I think of the fallen on this day more than anyone else, because it’s their day,” participant David Patlak said. “It’s the day to remember.”
The event was a reminder that despite being a global destination, Miami Beach is also a small, tight-knit community.
