Memorial Day Service at Jefferson Barracks 🪖🇺🇸
Monday, May 26, 2025 | 10:00 AM
Location: Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery
Address: 2900 Sheridan Rd, St. Louis, MO 63125
Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery will host its annual Memorial Day Service on Monday, May 26—a time-honored tradition set against the hallowed grounds of one of the oldest military cemeteries in the U.S.
Did you know?
Jefferson Barracks was established in 1826 as a military post and became a national cemetery in 1866. Veterans from every American war, including the Civil War, World Wars I & II, Korea, and Vietnam, rest here.
Memorial Day itself has roots dating back to 1868, when it was originally called Decoration Day—a time when families decorated the graves of Civil War soldiers with flowers. Over time, it evolved to honor all fallen service members. Jefferson Barracks remains a central site for ceremonies in Missouri, bringing together thousands who gather to pay respects.
Let’s show up and remember the heroes who gave their lives for ours.
Jeff White Memorial Skatepark: Breaking Ground Soon! 🛹❤️
The long-anticipated Jeff White Memorial Skatepark is set to break ground soon, thanks to incredible community dedication and the persistence of Jeff’s parents, Jeff and Paula White, along with a strong team of local friends and advocates—like Johnny, who has been a driving force in support.
After meeting fundraising goals, the City of Pacific applied for matching grants—and now, we’re thrilled to report the project is officially moving forward with a contracting company selected and ready to start once agreements are finalized.
This skatepark is more than concrete and rails—it’s a place of connection, joy, and tribute. We’ll keep you updated on its progress.
