05/05/2012 中山先生紀念公園 Sun Yat Sen Memerial Park.
Reference :
中山紀念公園位處東邊街北，鄰近西區海底隧道的通風口。根據歷史記載，該片土地原為三角碼頭對出的海面，後來經填海後成為公園用地。
根據歷史記載，孫中山先生因發動革命而被滿清政府迫害，後來更被港英殖民政府驅逐出境。其後，孫中山先生多次途經香港往返內地時，均只能在船上約見香港的同志和支持者。其船隻停泊的地點，就是現時中山紀念公園的位置，而公園亦據此命名以資紀念。中山紀念公園也是全港第一個以國父芳名而命名的公園。
President Gerald R. Ford 2016 Wreath Laying Ceremony
The ceremony is a combination of two special traditions. First, following a long-standing, honored United States Presidential Tradition, on the birthday of each deceased president, the incumbent president sends a tribute wreath to be reverently placed by a military officer at the deceased president’s tomb. The second tradition is of a more personal nature. Established by Mrs. Betty Ford in honor of her husband, she issued an instruction that outlined special people and organizations that held significant meaning to President Ford should be included in the wreath-laying ceremony. She felt it was important to include military members, law enforcement, the Boy Scouts, and other organizations who were important parts of the president’s life.
