Just a reminder that South Milwaukee’s annual Memorial Day parade starts at 10 a.m. on Monday.
The route begins at Divine Mercy’s 13th Avenue parish (the old St. Mary’s) and continues south on 13th to Milwaukee Avenue, east to 10th Avenue, then north to Veterans Memorial Park, where a ceremony will be held.
The event is presented by the South Milwaukee Veterans Council, Inc., a corporation of the five chartered veteran units in South Milwaukee: the American Legion, American Veterans, Catholic War Veterans, Polish Legion of American Veterans and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Thanks to all of those groups for holding this special event, and thanks to all of our veterans (and active duty soldiers). Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers this weekend.
(One more note: I’ll be taking a few days off from blogging this Memorial Day weekend. Back on Monday!)
