Question of the Day: Attending Memorial Day Parade?

A week from today, Malverne and West Hempstead will hold their annual parades. Will you participate?

Memorial Day is a week away and both Malverne and West Hempstead will be honoring its fallen vets with a ceremony and parade on May 30.

In West Hempstead, over 300 people are expected to either march or watch the which kicks off at 10 a.m. and concludes with a tribute to further pay tribute to the service men and women who lost their lives.

Then, in Malverne - where there had been some of this year's parade - the community will first hold a ceremony at the gazebo at 11 a.m. followed by its parade. However, turnout as been an issue in the past.

Therefore, in today's Question of the Day, Patch wants to know - Will you be marching or watching the Memorial Day parade in your town?

Yes I will be marching along with the Mayor and trustees. The Historical Society will also have a vintage car in the parade. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

The Malverne Civic Association will be "floating" again this year and throwing beads out to the crowd. Hope to see everyone come out for this significant village event!

Yes, regardless of the start time.

We plan on watching the parade in honor of those who made the supreme sacrifice so that we may enjoy the Amercian life. Those who may be involved in any controversy need to work that out on a professional level.

My family and I will be there. We look forward to it every year!

Looking forward to the parade. We will try to get there after the Valley Stream Parade (starting 930). Dever Elementary and Valley Stream North HS students who are also Malverne residents usually march in this other parade. So its great if they don't happen at the very same time. We can go to both then.

That’s very nice that school districts that have the highest school taxes and costs, areRead More receiving additional money. The problem is that our state is in dire financial trouble and we can’t afford it. Upstate NY is a distressed disaster. How much more taxes are we going to pay?. Hear those feet marching out of state. Try fighting for drilling so we have jobs and revenue.

.......there they go again whitewashing a dilemma they don't want to touch......unconscionableRead More salaries and pensions paid by the taxpayer for incompetence? Not to mention 13 week vacations as well as numerous 1/2 days and weather shortened days. A $50000 band aid we end up paying indirectly anyway only increases taxes further down the road. They are either that stupid or they think we are!
