FALLBROOK – Charles E. Swisher Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1924 will be holding its annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 31 at the Fallbrook Masonic Cemetery, 1177 Santa Margarita Drive.

The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. and is open to the public. The ceremony will include Sean Daley reciting his 2020-2021 winning Voice of Democracy essay and Honorary Guest Speaker Retired U.S. Marine Corps Brigadier General Edward Langston.
