On Sunday Bethel's downtown streets were filled with children and families trying to catch a glimpse of bands, scouts and veterans who marched in the Memorial Day parade.
After the parade, waiting on the lawn of the Clifford J. Hurgin Municipal Center there were several wreaths to be presented to Bethel veterans. Two returning serviceman from Afghanistan thanked the citizens of Bethel for their unbelievable support and love.
Take a moment to reflect, as Nina Caraluzzi wrote, on what Memorial Day means: "It's not about a picnic or a barbecue, but thanking those who have served our country."
