New Smyrna Beach will hold it's ceremony in Riverside Park. It is at 11:00am and is hosted by the VFW Post 4250. This is an annual ceremony and speakers include Mayor Adam Barringer. I went to this one last year and it was very nice.

American Legion Post 285 hosts the ceremony held at the Edgewater - New Smyrna Cemetery. The cemetery is located at 700 S. Ridgewood Ave. There are several speakers, music and a fly-over. The Legion Post also hosts a reception following at their facility located at 4497 Ridgewood Ave in Edgewater. I went to this one two years ago with my children and it was also excellent.
