Northeast Ohio communities hold Memorial Day remembrance ceremonies

CLEVELAND — Many ceremonies and celebrations had been held throughout Northeast Ohio on Memorial Day to honor the women and men who paid the last word worth and laid down their lives for the liberty of our nation. 

Our personal Leon Bibb, himself a Vietnam Conflict veteran, served as visitor speaker at a Memorial Day ceremony in Shaker Heights outdoors metropolis corridor. Leon touched on his service and why it is essential to have a good time, but bear in mind at the present time.

“We might have a tender drink or two in my yard to try this, we might nicely do this. However earlier than I do this, I all the time pay my respects to those that didn’t come again from conflict. I am so happy that my dad was capable of come again from conflict. If he had not come again, I’d not be your speaker right this moment,” Leon instructed the gathering. 

Public Sq. in downtown Cleveland was stuffed with American flags and exhibits of gratitude for our women and men in uniform. Lt. Col. Justin Herdman of the US Air Drive Reserve served as visitor speaker. 

3News’ Mark Naymik frolicked in Brecksville, the place a group was capable of collect and have a good time once more. “After two years with out Memorial Day, with out our parade and with out our ceremony, now we have returned to custom,” mentioned Brecksville Mayor Jerry Hruby.
