'^^^—^••••••^^^^^^^^^^—^^^^••••••••••^^^^^^^^^^^•••M^B^^^^^^^^' Memorial Day Parade, roundabout frooport .................... • ............ ' ....... ........ .............................. - -- --- ' - be in it! Some years, especially the wet ones, you'llhear the complaint, \It seems like more people are in the parade than are watching it.\ •) But is that necessarily such a bad thing? The Memorial Day Parade to honor those who have given their lives for their country features first and fore- most the veterans, some of whom were wounded in bat- tle, the Gold Star Mothers who lost a child in war, and the auxiliary to veterans groups. But it also features our local fire departments, auxil- iary police, public officials and other dignitaries paying their respects. Civic associations and service clubs show they care. The parade includes the Boy and Girl Scouts who are learning service to the community and their country and world. Then there are the elementary, middle school and high school band members, twirlers and marching teams pro- viding patriotic music and spirit. The youth sport organizations, teaching teamwork above all, are also on the parade roster, bringing the average age of the typical parade participant down from the 70s to the 7s. . - And then there are the parents that accompany their children. So what if the parade is bigger than its audience? If it seems the whole town is marching, because so many people are participating in so many groups, that is what makes this community great. So the longer the parade the greater our community. Of course, if you can't be in the parade, please come watch it and show your respect for this patchwork of a flag that by standing for equality and freedom means so much to us, and more than life itself.
