Governor's Office Releases Memorial Day Event List

Susana Martinez
SANTA FE – Governor Susana Martinez today encouraged all New Mexicans to honor the men and women who have lost their lives in the service of our country by participating in one of the many Memorial Day activities being held across the state over the coming days. The Governor’s office web site will be updated throughout the week with Memorial Day ceremonies and services taking place across New Mexico. “The efforts and sacrifices made by the men and women of our military can never be repaid,” said Governor Martinez. “I hope that all New Mexicans will join me in honoring the lives of those who died in the name of protecting our country and defending the freedoms that we all treasure. By joining our local communities and participating in one of the many ceremonies and services taking place across New Mexico, we can show our gratitude to our active duty military members, veterans, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of their country.”
“I hope everyone will make Memorial Day a personal day of honor and remembrance,” added Veterans Services Secretary Tim Hale. “I encourage New Mexicans to attend one of the many ceremonies around the state to honor the true heroes in our society.
