Community Pays Respects In Veterans Day Services
MONUMENT
A young attendee at Fridays Veterans Day ceremony at the Community Center takes a moment to pause after the wreath was placed at the monument in memory of Escalons fallen soldiers, lost in past wars.
Under a bright, sunny sky and with temperatures soaring close to 80 degrees, there were plenty of flags whipping in the wind along Escalon’s Main Street on Friday. The flags, placed there by the Escalon American Legion Post, set the stage for a downtown parade to kick off the community’s Veterans’ Day events. Veterans, city personnel, school and community groups, law enforcement, all marched or rode their way along the parade route, leaving from Coley, turning on to First and then heading along Main Street.
