Monday,
May 27, 2013:
Memorial Day ceremonies in Brainerd started on the Laurel Street bridge at 8:30 AM. |
|
The Brainerd High School Band was there for a parade to Evergreen Cemetery. | |
Speeches were given including the
Gettysburg Address by Cadet 1st Lt Jessica Holmes from the Civil
Air Patrol.
|
|
The clarinetist on the left was reading her music from the one on the right. | |
There was a salute to the flag by young and old alike. Yes, one veteran was saluting with his left arm...he is missing his right arm. |
|
Taps
were played.
This hauntingly beautiful music echoed through the cemetery. |
Quote of the day: Thanks to all veterans for service to our country. Mark | < Back to previous story | Ahead to next story > |
