    This year we selected to go to the Memorial Day parade and we had a fantastic time. We loved the parade and all the occasions and vendors that were set up. My son was so proud when he was saluting all the solders that walked by. It was a great time and we truly loved the parade. Produced us don’t forget our hero’s and all the soldiers that fought for our rights.
