On Monday, May 25, a car parade and online Remembrance Service, as well as the Roll Call of Names made Memorial Day look at bit different this year. With the pandemic continuing, and protocols set throughout the state for social distancing, especially among the veteran population, it was important to find a way to honor veterans and recognize those that made the supreme sacrifice, and to do it safely.<\/p>\n
