Happy Kinnelon Memorial Day!

Memorial Day in Kinnelon and throughout the country is a day to remember and give thanks to every serviceman and woman, as well as their families, for the incredible gift of service to our country that each has contributed.

According to NJ.com, here is the plan for the 2010 Memorial Day activities for Kinnelon and Butler:

Butler and Kinnelon will team with neighboring Bloomingdale for a parade at 9 a.m. Monday. Starting on Van Dam Avenue in Bloomingdale, the parade will travel to Hamburg Turnpike and Sloan Park, where a service will take place. The parade will continue to Main Street in Butler and on to Butler Park for services at the monuments. Then, it will proceed to the Kinnelon Municipal Building for observances. Call (973) 838-5401, ext. 1.

If you take part in the ceremony and care to share with us your perspective, you would be most welcome.

Meanwhile, I found these wonderful photos from the 2005 Kinnelon Memorial Day. I also encourage you to read Memorial Day: Our chance to remember and give thanks to put this day into perspective.

Happy Memorial Day 2010! We remember and thank you who have served our country from the bottom of our hearts.
