EDINBURG, Texas – The City of Edinburg invites the community to join in the annual Memorial Day Commemorative Ceremony, scheduled to take place at the Edinburg Municipal Auditorium on Friday, May 24th at 10 a.m.
An invitation is extended to the families of fallen heroes from the City of Edinburg who made the ultimate sacrifice in combat.
