WEST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Monday marks one of the most solemn holidays in the United States as Americans pause to pay respects to the heroes who lost their lives protecting our nation.
Several ceremonies are being across our area to remember them, including one at the Intrepid Museum in Manhattan.
The service was open to the public, and service members and city officials attended to honor the brave men and women who have served our country.
Four ceremonial wreaths were placed in the Hudson River to honor the fallen and a 100-foot U.S. flag was on display, and there was also be a flyover by Navy fighter jets.
The Intrepid Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday.
There will also be a lot happening throughout the day for the 37th Annual Fleet Week that comes to an end on Monday, so you can enjoy free hands-on activities and interactive displays from the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, and more.
