As City of Montrose offices close on Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day, we pause not simply for a long weekend, but for a moment of national remembrance.
Memorial Day stands apart because it asks us to reflect on the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Across generations, Americans answered a call greater than themselves, leaving behind families, futures, and familiar places in defense of freedom and the values we hold dear.
In communities like Montrose, where veterans, military families, and traditions of service remain deeply rooted, the meaning of this day is especially personal. Memorial Day reminds us that the liberties we enjoy were not guaranteed; they were protected through sacrifice.
As flags are raised, ceremonies are held, and families gather together, may we all take a moment to honor those who never returned home. Their courage and legacy continue to shape our nation and inspire future generations.
On Monday, City Hall, the Downtown Visitor Center, Municipal Court, Animal Shelter, Montrose Pavilion Event Center, and Public Works will all close in observance of the holiday.
Police Department offices will be closed; however, officers will be on duty and responding to calls.
The Black Canyon Golf Course, as well as The Rusty Putter restaurant and the snack bar, will be open.
