Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day


Memorial Day is a day that we the citizens of the United States honor those brave men and women who have served in the Military. This day is commemorated by many ceremonies, parades, parties, fireworks and a lot or other festivities. In the Mummer community we are honored to be included in the different parades held around the country to help celebrate this special day. Last weekend the Uptown String Band was invited to join in on 5 different parades. Despite the hot weather the crowds were out and there wasn't a person watching without a smile on his or her face. Other string bands also participated in different parades. The Uptown String Band also had the privilege of marching in various parades with other String bands as well and it was good to see some of my friends cheering us on at the end. I wanted to say THANK YOU to all the brave men and women who are who have served, who are serving and to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The Mummer Community along with myself send are prayers out to you and your families.
