Monday was full of activites across the city in observance of Memorial Day, and people young and old visited monuments and attended celebrations honoring the many men and women in the United States military who have served our country in the past and continue to do so today.

Here are just a few images from the Vietnam War Veteran's Memorial and the World War II Memorial at Capitol Park on Memorial Day.
