Memorial Day at Sylvan Cemetery

Here are some photos of some members of Company B of the  8th California Volunteer Infantry on Memorial Day.  We were on hand today for Memorial Day services at the Sylvan Cemetery at 7401 Auburn Blvd, Citrus Heights, CA 95610.  The Master of Ceremony was Jim Monteton, a member of Camp 22 and Comp. B member.  The ceremony started with a march through the cemetery which featured members of the local Police Department, Sons of the American  Revolution, Camp 22 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Armed Forces Veterans and the local Boy Scout troop. The procession made several stops throughout the cemetery to honor the fallen from the major conflicts.  After speeches from the Chief of Police and other dignitaries, Company B fired a rifle volley salute.
