PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. \u2014 Communities across the Treasure Coast gathered Monday to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to the country.<\/p>\n
In Port St. Lucie, dozens came together at Veterans Memorial Park for the city’s annual Memorial Day ceremony featuring patriotic music, a rifle salute, the sounding of taps, and reflections from veterans and local leaders.<\/p>\n
Veterans in attendance said the day serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by service members and their families.<\/p>\n
“All of us who have been in service have lost friends, I lost somebody I grew up with in high school, so it’s just a day to remember those lost souls,” Roy Bailey said.<\/p>\n
The ceremony also included performances by the Port St. Lucie Community Band and honored those who never made it home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PORT ST.
