Memorial Day Events

Posted

The members of American Legion Riverside Post 10 would like to thank the various groups and individuals that helped us honor those those that paid the Ultimate Sacrifice in defense of our nation.

We would like to thank Boy Scouts with the cleanup of the Legion property as well as refreshing the garden around the flag pole. Thank you to all who came out to replace flags at Gates of Heaven and Little Neck cemeteries. Despite the rain that came, you all preserved through it.

Thank you to Mayor Dasilva and the City of East Providence for their assistance and cooperation to help us make the parade another success. There were multiple agencies involved in this huge undertaking & it's certainly much appreciated. Also, Chrissy Rossi who helped to coordinate & organize the parade for us. Thank you to all the individuals & companies who donated the refreshments after the parade. We appreciate those who volunteered to cook and serve the refreshments as well. Thank you to all the parade participants & those who came out to watch the parade. This parade & the events that surround it is a huge undertaking & could not be made possible without all of you. However, it was a small price to pay to remember & honor those that paid the Ultimate Sacrifice.


Michael Reed, Adjutant for American Legion Post 10.
