In 1873, Memorial Day was first officially observed in New York. And by 1890 every state in the Union state had adopted it. After the World Wars, the day became a day to honour all military personnel. In 1971, Congress simplified the day to be on the last Monday of May.
And on this day, May 30th, Roseville honoured their veterans with a wonderfully planned parade. WCSX is honoured and delighted to have been a part of this parade to honour our veterans both at home and abroad. And if you take one thing away from this beautiful day is to say thank you to a veteran for their service.
Scotty and Faryn are about to get their parade on!
Bikes and veterans go together perfectly. What a great day to ride.
Some of the wonderful volunteers honoring the veterans today including members of the great VFW 6691!
Joe and Beth were super excited that we had Bob Seger on the side of are vehicle and then I made her day when I accidently discovered an old Bob Seger sticker from way back stuck in the glove compartment.
Do your best wave! Did you capture us on your phone as we blasted tunes?
I don't know what this is, but it's huge and armored.
Aww man, didn't want to spend my day off school in the back of a cop car.
The VFW were in front of us unloading arms full of candy to the happy kids.
We got the easy job, waving and driving with air conditioning. These VFW veterans are out on foot dealing with the heat and still having fun!
This dedicated officer kept are way clear.
Nice shirt! He kind of looks like Dr. Vink from Afraid of the Dark...you know who I'm talking about??? BFF forever if you do.
The fire department came out to greet us all too!
This officer kept the parade on track and don't give him any guff about his Segway!
After the parade the final ceremony was starting to begin.
Flag ceremony. It is amazing how methodical and precise the event is.
People that contributed a wreath came up to get a group pic in front of the beautiful display.
The Honor Guard begin the final sound off.
