1401 Veterans Way <br />Colton, CA 92324 <br />(909) 825-2985 <br />AMERICAN LEGION, COLTON POST 155 <br />April 29, 1998 <br />Dear Mayor and Council Members, <br />I wish to request the use of the Hermosa Memorial Gardens <br />Cemetery to assemble our citizens like the rest of our nation <br />to observe Memorial Day, on Monday May 25, 1998. <br />Our program will be just like in the past. There will be a <br />continental breakfast from 8:30 a.m. till 9:00 a.m. in the <br />main building. The ceremony would start at 9:00 a.m.. <br />and last about an hour. <br />The American Legion will set up all the chairs for everyone <br />including the Colton Middle School Band. We will also place <br />the flags along the drive. We will remove everything after <br />the ceremony as well. <br />We need the American Flag and P.O.W./M.I.A. Flag to raise at <br />the opening of the ceremony. We also need electricity for <br />our public address system which we will provide. We will need <br />access to the cemetery at 7:30 a.m, to set up. We will need <br />access to the main building for the continental breakfast and <br />for the use of the restrooms. I also request that any costs <br />be waived by you, the Mayor and council, as well. <br />If my request is put to a motion and moved to adopt, I want <br />to invite all the citizens of Colton who will be in town that <br />weekend to attend the observance to honor those heroic dead <br />who gave their lives in the service of our country. <br />Respectfully, <br />Steven G. Emery <br />Post Commander Post 155 <br />Item # 12 <br />
