Veterans Day Ceremony (Honoring the 50th Anniversary of the End of the Vietnam War) – Nov. 11, 2023 at 4 p.m. |
Gold Star Family Memorial Monument

Five years after the project began, the Woody Williams Foundation, with help from local Gold Star Families, broke ground on the first Gold Star Family Memorial Monument in San Diego County. The location could not be more fitting – Miramar National Cemetery’s Memorial Walkway, a walkway dedicated to the service and sacrifice of our military men and women.

Honoring Fallen Heroes
As Honor Flight San Diego (HFSD) began to fly Vietnam Veterans, the Miramar National Cemetery Support Foundation had the unique opportunity to assist the organization. HFSD took a plane filled with Navy HA(L)-3 Seawolves from the Vietnam War. We were able to help them remember the 44 fallen Seawolves who were killed in action.

Memorial Day 2023
The Miramar National Cemetery Support Foundation was honored to host the first in-person Memorial Day ceremony since 2019. Approximately 200-300 people attended the ceremony to hear U.S. Navy CAPT Tamara Graham speak about the 50th Anniversary of Women Serving in Naval Aviation, and San Diego Veteran of the Year U.S. Navy Veteran Josh Parado who talked about what Memorial Day meant to him.
Our board of directors would like to thank MNC Director Greta Hamilton and her staff, the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, Bugler David Kobrinetz, Bagpiper John Forrest, Chaplain Scott Mason, Eagle Scout Gabe Hambrick, Young Marines, and the Boy Scouts, for supporting our event.
