CAMDEN — A little over two dozen people paid tribute to America’s war dead at the annual Camden Memorial Day Ceremony Friday morning in front the county courthouse.

Three cadets from the U.S. Coast Guard Junior Leadership Program at Camden County High School and Camden Early College presented the colors to start the ceremony. They first raised the American flag to the top of the flag pole before lowering it to half-mast.
