Volunteer Call for Memorial Day at American Legion Post 853


As Memorial Day approaches each year, American Legion Post 853 in Borrego Springs invites the community to come together in remembrance and service. Held annually at Christmas Circle, this event honors those who have sacrificed their lives for our country. The event is scheduled for the last Monday in May, ensuring a meaningful and respectful tribute.


Volunteer Opportunities


With many members often out of town, there is a significant need for volunteers to assist with the day's activities. Your participation helps ensure the event runs smoothly and allows us to honor our fallen heroes in a meaningful way. Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community and support a noble cause.


Plan Your Visit


Planning your visit to Borrego Springs for Memorial Day offers a unique opportunity to experience the town's heartfelt traditions. The ceremony at Christmas Circle is a focal point, bringing residents and visitors together in a shared moment of reflection and gratitude.


How You Can Help


Your participation is invaluable in making Memorial Day both memorable and meaningful. If you can volunteer for any part of the day, please contact Dale Jones directly. Your involvement will ensure that this important day runs smoothly and that those who gave their lives are honored properly.


Contact Dale Jones at (209) 327-6395 to volunteer or for more information.


Let us join hands this Memorial Day to honor our heroes and strengthen our community ties.
