Scarsdale Celebrates Memorial Day

On a cloudy Memorial Day, Monday, May 28th, war veterans from the American Legion hosted the annual parade in Scarsdale Village. Residents and representatives from the Scarsdale Police and Fire Departments, volunteer firefighters, Scarsdale Village Ambulance Corps, cub scouts, boy scouts, Daisies, Brownies and Girl Scouts, and war veterans gathered in Boniface Circle to honor the brave men and women who had fallen in defense of our nation. The day commenced at the memorial for fallen soldiers where a wreath was laid in a ceremony lead by former Scarsdale Mayor Miriam Flisser. Scarsdale Veterans stood at the memorial and lead the town in the singing of the national anthem, serenaded by the SHS marching band. The ceremony closed with taps, and the annual parade began.
