It was all about remembrance – as it should have been – on Monday. Members of the Escalon American Legion Post 263 and the American Legion Riders hosted a series of four Memorial Day services scattered throughout the region, providing ample opportunity for residents to pay their respects to those service men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedoms. The first of the four was offered at Burwood Cemetery on River Road, with multiple American flags lining the driveway and smaller American flags placed on the graves of local military members buried there.
