Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a ‘Day of Remembrance’ for those who served in our armed services and paid the ultimate price with their lives. We pay tribute to all those who have fallen by holding parades and memorial services in their honor. Many local communities sponsor Memorial Day parades, and the Jewish War Veterans are usually one of the main participants. Below are photos of our local communities honoring our fallen heroes.
