The scene from the traditional Bay Village Memorial Day parade.
Memorial Day 2020 will be observed Monday, May 25, but without our usual traditions this year.
The global pandemic has obviated the call to congregate for parades, public gatherings and events that honor those who have sacrificed to preserve America’s freedoms.
Mike Khouma, Avon-Avon Lake VFW Post 7035, lays a flag at the 2019 Avon Memorial Day observance.
We urge one and all to pause and reflect on this day and to carry the meaning of Memorial Day at the forefront of your hearts and prayers this week, for those who gave all.
And this year, we should include the healthcare and other essential workers who may have fallen in service to America.
May God bless America. Pray for miracles!
