Memorial Day was celebrated in Renton on Monday, May 27, where military veterans were honored at the city’s Veteran Memorial Park. A large crowd gathered in the sunny weather, joining members of the Frank R. Vaise VFW Post #1263 and the Fred Hancock American Legion Post #19. Veterans and their families, Mayor Armondo Pavone, members of the Renton City Council and Hazen High School senior Hannah Mattson, who sang the national anthem, were also in attendance.
The local community, families and veterans will honor our fallen heroes at numerous Memorial Day events happening around the Puget Sound region on Monday.
