In advance of Memorial Day, Gold Star Manor plans to honor veterans and Gold Star mothers from 11 a.m. to noon Friday. A light lunch will follow.

The program will include a Navy color guard, a Marine rifle salute, a band and a Fire Department hook-and-ladder demonstration.

At the event, organizers will dedicate a new veterans' memorial fountain and make a special presentation to the Gold Star moms, women who lost sons or daughters serving in the Armed Forces.

There will be dedicated parking for Vietnam vets.

Anyone who wants to attend should RSVP to Terry Geiling, president and CEO of American Gold Star Manor, 3021 Gold Star Drive, at (562) 426-7651 or tgeiling@goldstarmanor.org
