Despite cancellation of Millbrook’s Memorial Day parade due to adverse weather forecasts, the community rallied for a ceremony held in the Millbrook High School auditorium.

Arranged by Commander Jeff Moseman, the Millbrook VFW Post 9008 featured Millbrook High School Band performances as well as guest speaker Sargeant Jonathan Ialongo.

Ialongo, a Millbrook native who served two tours in Afghanistan, delivered heartfelt remarks surrounding his deployment.

“Many people always wonder how you honor those who make the ultimate sacrifice, and I always say, be somebody worth that sacrifice,” he said, regarding the observation of this holiday and remembrance of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
