Pictures from Brookhaven's Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony

In the 45 years we’ve gone to the Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony in Brookhaven Hamlet, little has changed.  In looking back over photographs we’ve taken, it is often hard to distinguish them year-to-year, except the some people get noticeably older or no longer appear, some new facing gradually fill in, and plaques for new wars are placed in the small hamlet Memorial Park.  Yet each year is still meaningful, as Brookhaven in the tradition of small towns across the country, pauses to honor and remember those men and women who have sacrificed themselves for their country.
