The ceremony will also include the national anthem performed by Caitlyn Hagerty of San Marcos High School, Taps performed by Gabriel Ortiz of San Marcos High School,  an invocation by Pastor Chad Caddick and a statement from Mayor Jane Hughson.
The Hays County Veterans Memorial located on the corner of Hopkins Street and Riverside Drive will be open for those who wish to pay their respects to loved ones and veterans who lost their lives while serving but will be advised to follow social distancing guidelines.
The Memorial Day ceremony will be broadcasted at 10 p.m. on Spectrum Ch. 10 and Grande Ch. 16. The ceremony will also be shared to the San Marcos Community Services Facebook page and the City of San Marcos Youtube channel.
