Wilmington, De.—One of the oldest Memorial Day parades in America marked its 157th anniversary with the organizer saying, “We try to remember the reason why we’re here. It’s not really to celebrate, but it’s to commemorate those who gave their lives for our country.”
On May 30, 2024, hundreds of participants marched along Delaware Avenue to Soldiers and Sailors Monument Park, where a memorial service honored those who perished in America’s wars.
