⭐ Mark your calendars! Invitations will be going out soon for the 3rd Annual Memorial Day Ceremony at 65th Infantry Veterans Park. This is a powerful community tradition that brings Osceola residents together to honor our nation’s heroes. Before Paula’s leadership, the Buenaventura Lakes community in Osceola County never had its own Memorial Day observance. Paula saw that gap and took action—establishing a local ceremony so the community would have a meaningful day to remember and honor those who served.

The Memorial Day ceremony has proudly recognized the Borinqueneers—the 65th Infantry Regiment, a historic group of patriots whose service dates back to 1899 and whose bravery and sacrifice are finally receiving the recognition they have long deserved.
