    Memorial Day Programs

    May 26, 2025

    We are pleased to share that the Northwest Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (NWPVA) will again be sponsoring wreaths for each of the War Memorials on the Capitol Campus. Our thanks go to NWPVA for coordinating this beautiful display. This year Joy Cochran, Kevin Ferguson and Neal Gardenhire will represent NWPVA and will place each wreath. If you are in the Olympia area and would like to join our Memorial Day Wreath Walk, we will begin at 9:30am at the WWII Memorial. The WWII Memorial is located near the beginning of the North Diagonal parking area. After we stop at the WWII Memorial, we will walk to the WWI Memorial, then over to the Vietnam Memorial and we will end at the Korean War Memorial which is across Capital Way. Parking is usually wide open at this time (1225 Capitol Way S. or 1115 Water St. SW Olympia, WA 98501).

    Following the wreath laying, there will be a Memorial Day Ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda sponsored by the Thurston County Veterans Council. Music begins at 10:30am and the program begins at 11am. The Vietnam Vets Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club is also holding an event at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Motorcycles will arrive around noon, and the ceremony begins at 12:20pm.
