The rain stopped as the crowd gathered on the corner of Williamsbridge Road and Pelham Parkway North at the Peace Plaza Memorial for the annual Memorial Day ceremony honoring the members of the Armed Services who did not return home. About seventy-five people gathered at Peace Plaza as Veteran Joseph Ronda opened the ceremony with the raising of the flag and Pledge of Allegiance. Then he called up Rabbi Fuchs to give the Invocation followed by the line of Veterans from the various armed forces to speak about Memorial Day.
After the last veteran spoke the elected officials spoke led by Bronx Borough President Vanesa Gibson, then Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, and City Councilwoman Shirley Aldebol. The Peace Plaza Memorial Day ceremony ended with the playing of Taps.
