Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, is a solemn day to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives serving our country. While many associate the holiday with barbecues and beach trips, Bluffton offers a chance to reflect on the true meaning of the day.
Remembering the Fallen
The Bluffton community gathers for a traditional Memorial Day ceremony held at the Police Headquarters. The ceremony typically features patriotic music, speeches by local dignitaries, and the raising of the American flag from half-staff to full-staff at noon. This moving tribute is a powerful way to honor the sacrifices made by our fallen soldiers.
Beyond the Ceremony
For those looking for a way to celebrate after the ceremony, Bluffton offers a variety of options. Crescent Pointe Golf Club hosts a Memorial Day celebration, “Chill & Grille style,” where you can enjoy a delicious meal and a round of golf, all while remembering the heroes we honor on this day.
A Day of Reflection
Memorial Day is a time to remember, to honor, and to celebrate. Whether you participate in the ceremony, visit a local veteran’s memorial, or simply take a moment to reflect, Bluffton offers a variety of ways to pay tribute to those who have served our country.
