There are many ways to celebrate and honor the true purpose of Memorial Day in the Los Angeles area. I suggest a simple drive to reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day. Drive Sepulveda Boulevard between Ventura and Wilshire. This short drive passes three important landmarks.
Los Angeles National Cemetary: On Memorial Day, flags are placed on every grave site. Veterans have been buried here from 1889 to 1973. There is no better place to reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day.
The Getty Center: One of the foundations of American Culture is to give to the greater good. What the Getty Foundation started and has developed is one of the great art institutions in the world. American Military sacrifices have been made to protect American Culture and way of life.
Skirball Cultural Center: Not only is the Skirball a major cultural institution in Los Angeles, it has the primary goal to focus on Jewish Culture and History. American involvement in World War II helped prevent further horrors of the Holocaust.
