Township Honors Military Fallen With Parade, Ceremony
Mother Nature cooperated May 28 and the township’s Memorial Day commemoration once again included a parade down DeMott Lane.
Participants in the parade included the township’s Boy Scout, Girl Scout and Cub Scout troops, the Franklin High School Warrior Marching Band, and a contingent from the Canal Walk Veterans Association.
A formal ceremony, including a flyover by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter, was held at Veterans Memorial Park on DeMott Lane after the parade.
The parade was organized by township resident Bob LaCorte.
The Franklin Reporter & Advocate live-streamed the parade and the ceremony:
