The Bridgeport VFW Post 5079 organizes solemn and introspective Memorial Day Services, beginning with a mass at St. Mary’s Church in Bridgeport, and continuing with a touching parade along Aberdeen to 34th at the WW I & WWII Victory Garden. The Victory Garden has been the venue for Memorial Day services hosted by Bridgeport VFW Post 5079 since 1950.
McKinley Park 53rd Annual Memorial Day Parade
The 53rd Annual McKinley Park Memorial Day Parade hosted by the McKinley Park Civic Association and the William McKinley Park American Legion Post 231 took place today. An exhilarating experience with vibrant sounds of marching bands and patriotic music filling the air as the community came together to honor those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
The McKinley Park Memorial Day Parade is a beautiful reminder of the sacrifices made by our heroes, and the overwhelming sense of pride and appreciation.
Special Thanks To All The Volunteers Who Gave Their Time And Effort For the Memorial Day Services
Both Memorial Day events were meticulously organized and executed by dedicated volunteers who selflessly gave their time and effort to honor the fallen heroes.
