The City of Florence, Kentucky is set to host a special Memorial Day event on May 26, 2023. This year's ceremony, dedicated to the memory of Councilmember David A. Osborne, promises to be a poignant and meaningful tribute.

Florence Assistant Fire/EMS Chief Ryan Born will perform a special rendition of the National Anthem, while the Florence Community Band and Chorus will perform patriotic music during the event.

Councilmember David A. Osborne's life of service to the community reflects the spirit of sacrifice and commitment that the event aims to honour. The ceremony will also recognise the sacrifice and commitment of military personnel, with the city paying tribute to those who have served in the United States military.

The address of the ceremony location is 810 Ewing Boulevard, Florence, Kentucky. The community is invited to attend and pay their respects to those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
