Memorial Day 2014 Chappaqua NY

The vets were in perfect form along with all the uniformed services.  Chappaqua was declared a Purple Heart Town.  The weather was perfect,  beautiful, warm, and sunny.   The bridge into town was dedicated to Army Staff Sgt. Kyu H. Chay who was born in South Korea, grew up in Mount Kisco, and died serving in Afghanistan.

The Greeley High School band and the Kerry Pipers were in perfect and touching tune.  Hillary Clinton was swarmed by admirers.  A few long-time Hillary buddies showed up.  Of course Maggie Mae, pup reporter was on the scene with her mom and collaborator, Ronni Diamondstein, and channel 12 and channel 4 news. Ronni was interviewed by channel 4. Governor Cuomo, who lives there, was on Staten Island at another parade, and his opponent, Rob Astorino marched with Hillary.

 It was a lovely, and special day.
