Updated 2 hours ago
NEW YORK (WABC) -- As the nation is on the cusp of its 250th anniversary, the Intrepid Museum will open its doors Monday morning to veterans and members of the armed forces for a Memorial Day commemoration ceremony.

The event honors the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Monday's event at Pier 86, near West 46th Street and 12th Avenue, begins at 10 a.m. and will bring together military leaders and city officials, from City Council Speaker Julie Menin to Mayor Mamdani, who will conclude the ceremony with remarks.

The program includes a wreath-laying ceremony in honor of the fallen, the playing of taps and a three-volley rifle salute.

It's important to note some Memorial Day events across the city have been canceled due to weather.



However, the nation's largest Memorial Day parade in Queens will go on at 2 p.m., rain or shine.
