2010 Senoia Memorial Day Parade was well attended by veterans from many warsThe 2010 Memorial Day activities in Senoia Georgia were deemed a rousing success by those that attended. The crowds were large, as Mother Nature allowed a break from the rain for just the right amount of time to complete the schedule of events.

The main event was the Memorial Day parade, which was a compilation of veterans from many wars, vintage and contemporary military equipment, local veteran’s organizations and even an Army band!

Also in the parade were local civic organizations and clubs, and the mood was festive with plenty of flag waving and applause.

Just after the parade, at exactly 3:00 P.M.,  the attendees participated in the national moment of remembrance, followed by the blasts of a military salute and the playing of “Taps” by a lone bugler.

Kudos to the citizens of Senoia for their participation in this fine tribute to both our fallen heroes., and to those currently serving.

It was indeed a day to remember!

Richard - What a wonderful tribute by everyone in Senoia Georgia in attending the parade and activities in remembrance and honor of our fallen heroes and to support everyone who is now serving and may be in harm's way.  May God keep them safe and bring them home soon.

Nice to see a community take Memorial Day as a serious holiday - not just a day for cookouts. Nice photos, as usual.

Hi Richard, nicely done. Memorial Day parades were so big back east where I grew up. I always enjoyed them as a kid and as a young adult, was a percussionist for a band appearing in them. We had our big ceremony at our Rosecrans National Cemetery. I went the day before Memorial Day to photo capture the amazing number of flags and colorful floral tributes.
