We were honored and humbled to have been asked to cover two Memorial Day parades in Dutchess County this year. The City of Beacon held their parade along Main Street and concluded with a ceremony at the City's V.F.W. building. Just like Beacon, the Town of Beekman's parade marched down its Main Street. Their parade however, concluded with a ceremony at Beekman Town Hall.
These are always very personal occasions for me. My hero and role-model is my dearly departed father. He served in the United States Navy during World War II and was stationed in the South Pacific. He instilled in me a great sense of pride and humility for the men and women who served and continue to serve in our Nation's Armed Forces. That is why events such as the above, are always one of the most touching tributes that I have the privilege of shooting.
