BK Ford – Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day for remembering and honoring those who have died serving in the United States Armed Forces. Their sacrifice has afforded us our freedoms, and we commemorate their efforts each May with this weekend of dedication. We take time to honor the fallen soldiers, marines, sailors, airmen, and men and women who have bravely served and protected our country. We participate in hometown parades and ceremonies, visit and adorn the memorials and headstones of the fallen, and spend the weekend with our loved ones celebrating the memory and servitude of those who have died in the line of duty.

Bird Kultgen Ford upholds the values and traditions of our nation, and gives back to those who serve our communities and protect our country through many local charities and our BK Cares Committee. If you have a military related cause you would like us to support, please call us so we can learn more.

We’ve also compiled a list of family-friendly activities happening here in Waco for you to partake in during this weekend of remembrance. Before you venture out, stop by our reliable Quick Lane and Service departments for a quick oil change, service, or tune up – we want you to be safe this Memorial Day weekend, and every weekend.
