The City of Murrieta will observe Memorial Day with a ceremony near its Veterans Memorial.

The tribute to service members "who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of this nation" will take place at 8 a.m. Monday, May 27 near the memorial at Town Square Park, according to Laura Frasso, special events coordinator.

The keynote speaker for the solemn ceremony will be U.S. Navy Lt. Daniel Larsen, a 15-year Murrieta resident.

Seating will be limited, Frasso said. The public is encouraged to bring their own chairs if they wish.
