These month-long activities are sponsored by the City of Myrtle Beach, PGBA, LLC, and the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce as a "thank you" to our dedicated service men and women -- and their families. The celebration includes active duty military personnel, reserves, the National Guard and veterans from all service branches. During May, military personnel and their families also can look for discounts to area restaurants and attractions, so that they can enjoy the activities. Our gratitude is evident during the big Family Picnic, Saturday, May 26, in Grand Park at The Market Common. Pease join us for lunch prepared by the Omar Shriners Chefs. The picnic is free for all, courtesy of PGBA, LLC. Headlining Saturday afternoon is the Andrew Thielen Big Band with a live show. Also featured are military exhibits, kids' activities and more, including a chance to meet Deshauna! The Veterans March on Ocean Boulevard begins at 9:00 a.m., Monday, May 28. This special Memorial Day event isn't a parade, so it won't feature floats or vehicles, unless a vehicle is required for veterans who are not able to walk. This march is organized by the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association Chapter. At 11:00 a.m., Monday, May 28, everyone is invited to join us for the Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. The annual event recognizes Memorial Day with speakers, the Missing Man Table and an honor guard salute. The public is cordially invited to attend this and all other events, as we say "thank you" to our military men and women and their families.
