See You at the Parade!

on May 28, 2017

Greetings Everyone!

I hope all is well with all of you! Memorial Day is tomorrow. This day honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. It was originally known as Decoration Day and originated in the years following the Civil War. It became a federal holiday in 1971.

Dearborn is host to one of the largest and oldest parades in Michigan. This will be year 93! Wow!

The theme this year is “women in the military”. The parade will feature more than 60 marching bands, hundreds of veterans and flyovers from a Coast Guard helicopter, and a historic aircraft and military jets.
