Veterans of the American Armed Forces, active-duty military and the general public are invited to the 2026 Memorial Day Tribute at 2 p.m. on Monday, May 25, 2026, in McCown Auditorium at the Horry County Museum in Conway.

The 2026 Memorial Day Tribute at McCown Auditorium is designed to honor Americans in uniform of all ages who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country and will include a moment of silence, presentation of the national colors by a color guard, live patriotic music and recognition of veterans of the American Armed Forces by service branch and era.

It also includes the screening of a locally produced historical documentary: Death Drop: The 82nd Airborne and D-Day, which chronicles the actions of the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division on D-Day, June 6, 1944, and airborne operations related to the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II.
