Memorial Day observances reduced in La Crosse
This Memorial Day is the first national holiday in the U.S. to be observed since the shutdowns over COVID-19 began in March.
As a result, much of the traditional ceremony in the La Crosse area has been called off for this year.
The local Memorial Day Association will present a special broadcast at noon Monday on some TV and radio stations in the area.
Veterans will do salutes at some cemeteries, but otherwise there will not be public programs or parades in La Crosse, including the traditional bandshell program at Riverside Park.
