Memorial Day Parades and Events for the Whole Family in Litchfield County
Submitted by Mary Beth Lawlor on
Memorial Day is one of the most heartfelt holidays we celebrate in the United States. It's the perfect time to teach our children that it is important to honor those who lost their lives while serving our country. Attending a local Memorial Day parade is an enjoyable and educational way for families to show their support and respect for these fallen heroes. Each year in Litchfield County, my boys race to collect shells that have dropped to the ground from the Memorial Day remembrance shots fired into the sky. Of course, the free ice cream and lemonade are a welcome bonus. So while you enjoy the long weekend, take some time out to remember the brave men and women who fought for us at one of these Litchfield County Memorial Day parades.
