VIDEO : Fleet Week Memorial Day Ceremony at Intrepid

The Memorial Day ceremony at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum included the unfurling of a massive American flag by members of the Fleet Week Flag Detail as the Marine Corps band from Quantico played in the background.

Then all military members, current and former, were welcome to take part in the holding of the flag as a lone bugle played Taps and there was a flyover by the Valions of Strike Fighter Squadron Fifteen.

And here are more pictures from the ceremony:
