Hope you enjoy the Memorial Day weekend!

Always a good start to summer but the most important part of this holiday is remembering the lives lost, and the sacrifices our servicemen/women and their families, have made for our country.

Thank you, thank you. 

It can never be said enough!

The Parade in Bayport

I went to the Bayport Fire Department yesterday to observe the annual Memorial Day Parade. It was a solemn event with a wreath placed at the War Memorial in Bayport Park on Middle Road.

There were few people to observe and some, but not many, participants in the parade itself.

The fire department, the girl and boy scouts, a politician and the historical society, were all represented, but it was a sad day to remember sad events.

I had wished there were more people. It seemed pale in comparison to other holiday parades.

Where were the crowds of people? I hope that they attended parades somewhere else and were not at home, doing yard work, or at the beach.

I'm glad I was there.
