the military personnel. This table will include coffee and

country. Anyone wishing to drop off muffins, doughnuts or any
other treats to this VIP area are encouraged
to do so.

Civil War and all other wars and conflicts. This monument is
located at the corner of Main Street and Tuttle Road.

banners to be carried by some of the troops that remember all of our
military conflicts that our country has been involved with.

lilacs (or other flower if lilacs are not in season) to be placed on
the graves of our military heroes that are either in the
Congregational Church Cemetery (corner of Tuttle Road and Main

throughout the parade route and possibly bagpipes as well.

decorated patriotic bicycles and local community floats will also be
a part of the parade.

any portion of the parade's activities.

Cemetery and then the parade will return to the Gyger
