Francis Marion VFW Post 4667 has begun planning for the third annual Memorial Day parade to be held on May 25, 2008.

"In an effort to bring back the true patriotic meaning of Memorial Day, I felt a community parade through downtown Marion followed by a Memorial service and then a community barbeque at our local VFW Post would help," says Bill Baldwin.

Any organization, individual, or civic group desiring to enter the parade can obtain an application by either calling the VFW Post at (276) 783-7971 or download it from the links below.

The parade committee is also seeking additional members. Individuals, organizations and civic groups interested n helping are asked to contact the VFW Post at 783-7971 or Turk Johnson at 686-5085.  The Memorial Day Parade's next meeting will be on Monday February 15 at 6:30 PM at the VFW Post home on Goolsby Street.

Further, if any organization or civic group that would be interesting in helping with the parade events, please contact either Bill Baldwin at (276) 677-3996 or Turk Johnson at 686-5085.

Let's all mark May 25th on the calendar and make this a day to remember!
