Your Guide To Southern Tier New York Memorial Day Parades
It's the Memorial Day weekend. Yes, it's the unofficial start of the summer season, but while you are enjoying the long weekend, please take the time to remember and honor our fallen soldiers.
So many men and women have given their lives for our freedom. Many have lost a family member or friend while serving our country. I lost an Uncle in the Vietnam War.
