Memorial Day ceremonies are planned across the North Olympic Peninsula.

Most of the free, public events will be Monday. One — a monthly veterans memorial held at the Liberty Bell in Port Angeles — will be at 1 p.m. today while a service at the Captain Joseph House in Port Angeles will be on Sunday.

Today’s veterans memorial will be orchestrated at the Veterans Park on Lincoln Street by local service groups.

The Marine Corps League Mount Olympus Detachment Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Patriot Riders and National Guard will convene at Veterans Park on Lincoln Street for the monthly service.

Local veterans’ names will be read, with the replica Liberty Bell rung after each name.

The honor guard will fire three volleys and a bugler will play taps, after which a bagpiper will play “Amazing Grace.”

On Sunday, the Captain Joseph House Foundation will host a memorial service at 1108 S. Oak St. from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The service will honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. armed forces.

A tour of the Captain Joseph House will follow the service and refreshments will be provided.

The Captain Joseph House Foundation is a nonprofit created to lend support to Gold Star families.

Gold Star families are parents, siblings, children and spouses of service members who died while on active duty during wartime in the military.
