memorial day …

One of the best parts of living in our village is the Memorial Day parade.  We’re a small village, but they never forget those who served.

The fire department is a part of the parade too.  That’s Mr. C. driving the last truck in the parade.  (He wasn’t crabby – just squinting in the sun!)

After the parade, there is a service at the village green, with prayer, the national anthem,  and the flag is lowered to half mast with a 21 gun salute by our veterans.

I hope you all had a happy day, and that you took a moment to remember those who gave all.   God Bless America, and may He bless you all too. 

Best,

Stephanie

  8. A great post and tribute to this special Memorial day. The men and women that serve our country do not get the support they should.
