Memorial Day is a day about gratitude and rememberance, not just about a day off. It is to remember those men and women  who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. In honor of those men and women who lost their lives serving their nation, Fred Brock American Legion Post No. 828 held its annual Memorial Day Ceremony at The Post's event center. The keynote speaker was retired Maj. General Juan Ayala, U.S. Marine Corps & Director, City of San Antonio Military & Veterans Affairs. Special thanks to H-E-B Operation Appreciation for sponsoring the program and the refreshments. (Photos by Post 828 Commander Burrell Parmer & Auxiliary Member Tesha Leggett)
