Aurora’s Memorial Day observances begin May 27-28, when American Legion Post 803 members and VFW Post 2629 members will distribute poppies from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the entrance to Veterans Memorial Park, 40 West Garfield Road. There is no cost, but donations are traditionally accepted. The poppies are the national flower of remembrance for all veterans dating back to World War I.
The city will mark Memorial Day starting at 10:15 a.m. May 30 with American Legion Post 803 leading a short service and wreath-laying ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park on State Route 82 in front of Barrington Town Square.
