LYNDONVILLE – The impending inclement weather this morning forced the cancellation of the Memorial Day parade and ceremony for the safety of all involved, said Steve Goodrich, the Legion commander.

“That does not mean the day went unmarked,” he said.

At 8:30 a.m. members of Houseman-Tanner Post 1603 placed a wreath at the Memorial Stone in Veterans Park and lowered the flag to half staff to honor the fallen.
