East Cleveland Memorial Day Parade 2019
Yes, it is finally here the beginning of summer. Remember when you were in school and all the buzz was who was going to be the Drum Major leading the band on Memorial Day it would be a secret until he stepped out. Memorial Day was a big day in East Cleveland all the groups business came out to be in the parade. We had little league baseball teams. pal sports, ymca. boy and girls’ scouts’ men soft ball teams and street clubs.
The ROTC color Guard would form up at the cemetery at 7am to raise the flag and the city’s church Pastors would host a pray breakfast. An than a march down to superior to start the parade.
Not as much is done now but the spirt of the parade is still there. And to the citizens of East Cleveland it still is a big day.
Young men and women keeping the tradition,
Hats Off to the Major Brandon King the last major did not quite understand what this day means. Major King went straight to the cemetery for the reef ceremony. The Last mayor I had to run down and remind him, not a happy moment for me.
Also, a special Thanks to the East Cleveland Police that do a great job of keeping us safe every year, and to the surrounding cities that came to Honor our Fallen, thank you and May God Bless and protect you.
