Rep. Derek Tran to Speak at Artesia Cemetery District's Yearly Memorial Day Event as Keynote Speaker
In a moving tribute to honor those who served in the military, the Artesia Cemetery District is set to host its Annual Memorial Day Ceremony on May 25, 2025, at the Artesia Cemetery located at 11142 Artesia Blvd., Cerritos, CA 90703. This year's event promises to be particularly special, as Congressman Derek Truyen Tran, a U.S. Army veteran and a rising national figure, will deliver his first Memorial Day address.
Congressman Tran, a Democratic representative from California's 45th congressional district, was sworn into office on January 3, 2025. He is known for his advocacy on various issues, including being part of the California Democratic delegation that has called for the immediate release of $928 million in education funding owed to California. His campaign also highlighted his family's history as Vietnamese refugees, which resonates with the Vietnamese American community.
The Memorial Day Ceremony will commence with a moment of silence to honor all fallen heroes, followed by speeches from community leaders and trustees. A local high school student will perform Taps live during the ceremony, and an Honor Guard presented by local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) will be featured. Refreshments will be served, and a designated press area will be available for media coverage.
