Retired Navy Captain Jerry Rostad says, “Memorial Day is the opportunity to pay homage to the people who have gone before us. The military service members who have given the ultimate sacrifice. They’ve died in service for the country.”
Services kicked off at Riverside Cemetery in Fargo with the laying of the wreaths and flowers.
“These flowers of red are offered in memory of our heroic dead who fell in defense of our country. The white flower is a symbol of purity and it is with this purity purpose, our soldiers, sailors and marines march away with unselfish courage. Blue is a symbol of remembrance and the emblem of loyalty,” Master of Ceremonies, Jason Hicks said.
