Large Memorial Day events in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties are being replaced by virtual ones.
With social distancing rules in place, large memorials in Los Angeles and Orange counties are being replaced by virtual ones, as well as a flyover of vintage planes.
Phil Kendro, a board member of the Mt. Soledad memorial’s board of trustees, said the one-hour joint event is unique.“We recognized that we would not be able to conduct our normal Memorial Day commemorations this year, so we built a partnership with four iconic San Diego sites to create a unique virtual commemoration that is the only one of its kind,” Kendro said in a statement.
“We had to think out of the box to pay tribute but at the same time allow people to tune in and attend,” Koontz said. “We’re really looking forward to being able to do this.”
