A ceremony marking Memorial Day will be held Friday in Sacramento, a few days before the actual date for the national holiday.

The pre-Memorial Day remembrance is planned for 11 a.m. Friday at Arden Fair mall in front of Seasons 52 restaurant. The hourlong ceremony will honor the nation’s war dead.

The event includes a flag-folding ceremony with taps played, special presentations to mothers whose sons were killed in action, rededication of the mall flagpole and a remembrance salute to all veterans killed in combat.
