Memorial Day Weekend

Kick off summer the Cypress Cove way this Memorial Day Weekend!

From live music and pool parties to karaoke, games, dancing, and even a pickleball tournament, the weekend is packed with fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re looking to relax poolside with friends, dance the night away, or simply enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

As we celebrate, we also take time to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Gather with friends, soak up the sunshine, and make this Memorial Day Weekend one to remember at Cypress Cove.

Missing Man Ceremony – Honoring Our Fallen Heroes

Saturday, May 23 at 12 PM
West Pool at Cypress Cove Nudist Resort

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Among the most poignant traditions of this weekend is the Missing Man Ceremony—a moving tribute to those who never returned home.

At the heart of the ceremony is the Missing Man Table, set with intention and deep symbolism. Each item on the table holds meaning:

• The small round table represents one lonely soldier, isolated from comrades.

• The white tablecloth symbolizes the purity of their motives when answering the call to serve.

• A single red rose in a vase reminds us of the lives lost and the loved ones who still await their return.

• A yellow ribbon around the vase stands for hope—the hope for those still missing.

• A slice of lemon on the bread plate signifies the bitter fate of the missing.

• A pinch of salt represents the tears of families and comrades left behind.

• An inverted glass signifies that the missing cannot toast with us today.

• An empty chair stands silent, waiting for those who will never return.

This sacred tradition is not just ceremonial; it’s a collective act of remembrance. It ensures that those who served and never came back are never truly forgotten.

Please join us at 12 PM on Saturday, May 23, by the West Pool for Cypress Cove’s Missing Man Ceremony. Together, let us honor the fallen, reflect on their sacrifice, and carry forward the legacy of freedom they died to protect.

We remember. We honor. We stand together.
