This year’s Burbank Memorial Day Ceremony was held Monday at The McCambridge War Memorial. The annual event was attended by many Burbank residents who heard the names of those killed while serving their country and witnesses roses placed on Memorials with their name engraved.
Music, words, acknowledgment, and placement of roses at the memorial by Boy Scouts was sobering for many in attendance.
Mary Gallagher will tell you she’s “a comic, actor, and writer,” but that doesn’t really cover it.

She’s also a working mother, an educator, a late-night TV comic, a Colbert alum, a voice in the room helping actors find their own voices.
