Memorial Day Services - 28 May 2001

Veterans Memorial Park - Las Cruces, NM

Services were conducted to honor the memory of all that have died for our country. During the services, balloons were released in honor of those New Mexicans (military and civilian) that are still unaccounted for during the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Eighteen volunteers were asked to release a balloon in the name of those individuals still missing. Norm and Pat each released a balloon.
