After the disappointing cancellation in 2020 due to the pandemic, the Old Greenwich Memorial Day paradereturned to sound Beach Avenue on Monday.
The well attended parade honored the women and men who gave their lives in service to our country. A ceremony in Binney Park followed the conclusion of the parade.
After two full days of rain, the weather cooperated, and it was nice to see unmasked faces reveal big smiles.
