A perfect day for the parade

It was a perfect day for the Memorial Day Parade... and the crowd of spectators seemed to me to be as big as any nice parade day. There were a lot of people who made it happen, but in particular, I thank my dad, Ernie Dipietro and Bob Ceccollini. They did a great job.

But most important, remember the reason why Memorial Day exists.

Excerpted from USMemorialDay.org:

In 1915, inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields Moina Michael replied with her own poem:

We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
