QUEENS, N.Y.—With the exception of the past two years, when the world was in the throes of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the New York City neighborhood of Douglaston–Little Neck has had a Memorial Day Parade since 1927.

This year marked a return to the tradition, with an hour-long parade of just over 100 marching units, with about 1,500 people participating.
