Millerton remembers its fallen

MILLERTON — The village was aglow with the red, white and blue as the local community came together to celebrate Memorial Day at Millerton’s annual parade and ceremony on Monday, May 30.

The Memorial Day commemorations began at 6 a.m. with the Millerton American Legion Post #178’s traditional morning Cemetery Repass, during which time Legion members visited all of the cemeteries in the town.

Parade participants began lining up on Century Boulevard at 9:30 a.m.; community members flocked to Veterans Park with hopes of getting a clear view. By 10 a.m., the parade — featuring local heroes, village and town officials and others — made its way down Main Street, stopping at the Webutuck Creek Bridge to remember those lost in the nation’s naval services and Merchant Marine and then at the Irondale Cemetery for a brief service.

Retracing their route up Main Street, parade participants then gathered at Veterans Park for the American Legion’s traditional Memorial Day program.
