Remembering the fallen

Kissimmee’s monuments to those who served are at Kissimmee Lakefront Park, 201 Lakeview Drive, where the city lists the Veterans Memorial and the Bataan-Corregidor Memorial among the park’s landmarks, alongside the Monument of States and the lighthouse (city park page).

Neither the City of Kissimmee nor Osceola County had posted a 2027 Memorial Day ceremony when we checked. We will add ceremony times and places here as the city, the county and veterans groups announce them. Veterans organizations can send us their ceremony.
