WAUKESHA, WI — As we get closer to Waukesha's 2023 Memorial Day events, city organizers and the Waukesha Allied Veterans Council are looking for veterans to take part in a parade honoring our fallen service members.

All veterans without a dishonorable discharge who served in the active military, naval or air service are invited to march together as an act of unity in the May 29 parade, according to a news release from the city.

Several other events are scheduled for Waukesha's 2023 memorial day. A service at Barstow Plaza is planned for the morning where participants can cast a flower into the river as a tribute to the fallen.

The riverside service is scheduled for 9 a.m., with the parade starting at 10:15 a.m. and the final service starting at Cutler Park at 11 a.m.
