This year's ceremony features local veterans, the City of Milton Fire Department Color Guard, Lieutenant General James R. Helmly, USA (ret) as the ceremony's featured speaker, and much more.

The ceremony will conclude with a roll call of local veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Their friends and families are then invited to reflect upon the markers created to remember their legacy and placed along Deerfield Parkway and in Crabapple by Councilman Bill Lusk with the non-profit Milton Memorial Markers for Veterans.
