Northfield, Ohio – Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6768 will present the Memorial Day Parade, taking place in Northfield Center on May 29th. Our Grand Marshalls this year will be Dan Davis & Clinton Ulrich both long time Nordonia Hills residents. After the parade we will have our annual memorial ceremony at Northfield Macedonia cemetery.
The Memorial Day parade is a somber event to memorialize & honor our Veterans that have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that you & I can enjoy the freedoms the we exercise daily.
With that being said, there will be no sirens or candy permitted in the parade. When our beloved American flag passes you, please stand, remove your hat, place your hand over
your heart & remember those who are no longer with us. Remember the loss that was felt at home by their family & pain their loved ones endured when they could no longer embrace
them. Remember their comrades who fought bravely beside them & the friendship, brotherhood & sisterhood that is incomparable to any other. For this is why we have
Memorial Day, to remember, to honor & never forget.
The Emergency Assistance Center will be collecting donation items at St Barnabas parking lot before the parade begins. This amazing organization provides support those in need that reside in our local community. Encouraged donation items can be found on their website www.theemergincyassistancecenter.org or via their Facebook page.
All those interested in joining the parade or have questions, please contact via email at Backwoodsranger1969@gmail.com We ask all those participating in the parade are at St Barnabas parking lot by 9:00am so our team can get you in position.
Following the ceremonies, we will be hosting our annual open house located at 8584 Olde Eight Rd which will be open to the public. Please join us as we remember & honor our fallen.
