Memorial Day, Montrose Style –
Flags everywhere –
A classic small town parade –
First the Harley’s –
Then the Boy Scouts
Then the American Legion
Giant Flag
High School Band (totally overdressed for the 85+ day! One of the flag twirlers almost fainted in front of us!)
Any number of miscellaneous groups
and of course lots and lots of fire engines!
Even the spectators were in the moment –
🙂
The parade ended with ceremony on the green –
Truly, a classic small town Memorial Day Celebration.
Our celebration ended with a great Chicken BBQ back at the conference center.
Yum.
But lest we forget, Memorial Day is a day to say thank-you for those that gave the ultimate sacrifice –
Day is done…
Gone the sun
From the lake…
From the hills…
From the sky.
All is well…
Safely rest
God is nigh.
Fading light….
Dims the sight
And a star….
Gems the sky….
Gleaming bright
From afar….
Drawing nigh
Falls the night.
Thank you.
