Moment of reflection in West New York

Parade honors fallen vets

Local residents came out on Monday, May 24 to pay tribute to those who perished during the country’s armed conflicts.
Memorial Day was first observed on May 30, 1868 as Decoration Day, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
