“We welcome the public, local dignitaries and truly encourage families to bring their children for this special Memorial Day service,” said Lynelle Chauncey Zelnar, founder of Forgotten Soldiers Outreach. “We applaud Palm Beach Memorial Park for continuing to host this event with Forgotten Soldiers Outreach. “I continue to be so proud that my 11-year-old son, Bryson Baggett, will again be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance this year. He’s so excited that he ‘owns’ this honor for this event. He has been doing this since he was four years old.”
