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.

Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community and support a noble cause.


Plan Your Visit

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.
