Update on Larry Maxam Park Dedication for Memorial Day

The dedication/re-naming of Pacific Park for Larry Maxam (Medal of Honor Recipient) on May 25th at 11am at first sounded like the ceremony would be at Pacific Park but according to Mickey DePalo, it will be held at McCambridge Park.

Thanks Pam for the clarification!

JANUARY 17, 2012 UPDATE



"On April 17, 2010, the city of Burbank honored the memory of my cousin, Larry L. Maxam, by naming a park after him. It was a wonderful ceremony where hundreds turned out to pay their respects to this brave Marine. The ceremony was attended by several surviving members from the battle where Larry lost his life. The battle at Cam Lo. Larry is the only Burbank native ever to receive the Medal of Honor."
