Kelly The William Bradford Turner American Legion Post 265 respectfully requests permission to conduct its annual Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony on Memorial Day, May 27th. This year our focus will be on honoring our Veterans who served on active duty during the Viet Nam Conflict from 1962 through 1975. James Brady, a long time village resident and member of our Post who has been active in many village organizations will be the Grand Marshall. Our schedule will be as follows: 9:00 a.m. Memorial Service at the Cathedral of the Incarnation 10:00 a.m. Parade Assembly at Parking Lot on the east corner of 10 th Street and Franklin Avenue and march down Franklin Avenue and Seventh Street to Veterans Memorials 11:00 a.m. Memorial Ceremony at Veterans Memorials on Seventh Street At the suggestion of the Garden City Police Department, the assembly for the parade this year will be in the parking lot on the east side of Franklin Avenue and 10th Street instead of the west side of 10th Street where it interfered with traffic in the residential area. We all feel that this is a safer situation. All Members of our Post, other posts, and all Veterans of our Village are invited to participate. The Mayor and Trustees of our Village are invited to participate in any and all of the above and I would like to have Mayor Mary Carter Flanagan be the first speaker after the invocation to welcome those attending if she is available. Lease let me know if any further information is needed. As always, thank you for your continued support and all that you do for our Village. Frank A.
