Memorial Day ceremonies will be held at the Carpinteria Cemetery, 1501 Cravens Lane, at 10 a.m. Monday. The ceremonies will feature a bagpiper, color guard, a presentation of wreaths and flowers, a cannon salute and “Taps.”
A roll call of those from Carpinteria who have fallen in battle will also be read. The name of an Iraq veteran who was killed last year will be added to the roll.
Lois Mahalia will sing the “Star-Spangled Banner” to open the ceremonies and Rep. Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara, has been invited to speak on veterans issues currently before Congress. First District Supervisor Salud Cabajal, a former Marine, has also been invited to address the gathering.
The ceremonies will be supported by Boy Scout Troop 50 members who will carry flags and march onto the parade ground.
