Coronado Memorial Day
In 1958, Coronado held its first Memorial Day Ceremony. American war dead were honored when Coronado holds its first mass memorial services by placing wreaths and floral pieces on the rock in Star Park, which had been renamed Memorial Park at that time. Like the ceremonies that would follow, it was sponsored by Veterans of Foreign Wars. The American Legion was also a sponsor of the ceremony held at II am. The public was invited to attend and place a floral piece or single flower on the monument.
