The Dallas American Legion Post 672 held its annual Memorial Day parade. The parade started at the Post Home on Route 415 and proceeded to the center of Dallas for a ceremony at the Veterans Memorial. The honorary parade marshals were state Senator Charles Lemmond and his son, Master Chief Petty Officer John Lemmond. Captain Francis Petroski, a Lake-Lehman High School graduate and member of the National Guard, was the guest speaker. After the service at the memorial, American Legion members conducted a short service at Woodlawn Ceme- tery in Dallas and a brief service at Chapel Lawn Ceme- tery on Route 415 in Dallas Township. A wreath was placed at the cemetery in memory of fallen veterans. The annual Memorial Day parade was held in Sweet Valley, with hundreds of people lining the parade route. The parade attracted civic organizations, youth sports teams, businesses and school groups throughout the Back Mountain.
