Everyone loves a parade, especially in Manchester

I was able to attend my first parade in Manchester yesterday, and was excited to see how the town honors its fallen veterans. I come from metro-Detroit, so I've not seen any of the "small-town America" celebrations, and knew I'd be in for a treat.

The parade in Manchester is more of a community walk than parade, a different element I've not seen before. With stops at both Wurster Park and Oak Grove Cemetery, Manchester makes the parade more veteran-centric than some others I've seen.

Not able to attend yesterday's celebration? Here's a link to the story, and here are some more photos from the day. Also below is a video highlighting the celebration.
