And the moments afterward at the American Legion - sponsored bar-b-q. Terrific! The voluteers who were pictured in the parade, and those who make it happen are what Metuchen is all about! Thanks to all of you!

Represents quintessential America. First I thought it was Anytown USA, but then I began to recognize some Metuchenites. Nice blending local and enduring Memorial Day themes.

I'm up in MA but even though she is the only one I know in the parade, I cried my eyes out! Very touching and beautifully done. An incredible parade honoring people who have given their all.
