May 25, 2018 – Washington Co., WI – Neighbors across Washington County are being asked to stand and remove their hats when the U.S. flag passes at the start of Memorial Day parades on Monday, May 28.

 

The day, also called Decoration Day, is for observance in memory of dead members of the armed forces of all wars. Today’s 1924 history photo is of an American Legion parade.

 

The picture was donated to the Kewaskum Historical Society by the James Andre family.

 

West Bend’s Memorial Day Parade steps off at 9:30 a.m. from Main and Oak Street.
