A large crowd gathered during a Memorial Day Ceremony to pay tribute to the men and women who served in the military to keep their memory alive.
MIRAMAR, Calif. — For the 13th year, the Miramar National Cemetery Support Foundation hosted its Memorial Day Ceremony to honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the brave men and women who served our country and are no longer present.
It's been almost eight decades since D-Day but the memories of those who were there are still vivid. In attendance were several veterans including Bob Wilson who is a Navy Veteran and served on D-Day. Wilson is 104 years old but for him, it feels like it was just yesterday. Filled with emotion, Wilson tells CBS 8 that those memories are never forgotten. That's why it's so important to honor those who didn't make it back.
