We are visiting San Diego May 27-June 3. I was wondering if there are any special Memorial Day events planned, specifically anything military like aboard the Midway, etc. I have searched the newspapers there online as well as the midway sight, but found nothing. Any information would be helpful.
San Diego Memorial Day EventsHi I just googled memorial day san diego and I found this :

Have a good visit.
San Diego Memorial Day EventsI appreciate your efforts, but that link is for 2004. I found that one and also a link to 2005 Memorial Day events. I guess it is too early to find info about this year. I have also emailed a couple of websites, but no response yet.
oooops! I guess I don%26#39;t know how to read too well ! Sorry!!!
Here%26#39;s an event Calendar from the San Diego Visitors site - this should give you some ideas.....

And... they are having a program for Veterans on the USS Midway

Have a wonderful visit!
I don%26#39;t know about events, but if I could make a recommendation on a way to celebrate veterans, you may be interested in paying respects at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. It is a beautiful place overlooking the ocean on Pt Loma where many heros are buried. There are many monuments and memorials there (like Arlington). Here%26#39;s a link.

If you have by chance read ';Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors';, there is a monument to those Sailors here.
The cemetery is also near Cabrillo National Monument, another worthwhile destination on Pt Loma.
Chissis, thanks for the link to the calendar. I have checked the Midway site and looks like their events will be done on Sat and Sunday, nothing on Monday.
Al, I am planning on going to the Rosecrans cemetary and appreciate your mentioning it. We look forward to our visit.
