On May 25, 2024, members of the James A Garfield HS Color Guard reflected and acknowledged members of the Armed Services who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The Mighty Bulldawg Battalion and many others across the nation took part in remembrance services with relatives, friends, and others for those who served and lost their lives.

JROTC cadets are able to related the Army Values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Honor, Integrity, and more importantly – Selfless Service and Personal Courage. Moreover, members that serve have willingness to give their life for the country and have the courage to do so with conviction. We deeply appreciate and understand the conviction of service members making the ultimate sacrifice.

Like years prior, we are honored to participate in the presentation of colors for the Memorial Day service at EL Sereno, California. In attendance was Mayor Pro – team of El Sereno Jennie Gutierrez, US Representative of the 34th District Jimmy Gomez, State Senator of the 26th District Maria Elena Durazo, and Los Angeles Police Hollenbeck Division as guest speakers. Each presented powerful and meaningful presentations about service members who died defending and creating a pathway of freedom for us all.

Let us always remember our heroes that gave the supreme sacrifice and honor those who continue the legacy of those heroes though their service today.
