Delaware County community hosts parade, special events in honor of Veterans Day
Another show of thanks in Media was a program that included tributes to women in the armed services, including the parade’s grand marshal, Master Sergeant Tanya Harris of the Air Force and Air National Guard.
“I think it’s important for people to know that women are in the military too, we’re not just secretaries and admin assistants,” said Harris. “They’re pilots, they’re navigators.”
As part of the program, middle school students read essays they’d written in honor of inspirational women in the military.
Morgan Vaughn of Levittown wrote about her stepmother, Tiquicia Spence, who serves full-time with the Army National Guard.
“She works really hard for her family and her country, so I find that inspiring,” said Vaughn.
“Being an inspiration for her and any other kids, it always hits home,” said Spence.
The parade and program brought together people of all ages.
“You’ve got the real McCoy here,” said World War II veteran Ed Buffman, the founder of the Pennsylvania Veterans Museum.
The County of Delaware and its Intermediate Unit helped with the celebration in Media as well.
People like VFW Post volunteer Kelly O’Loughlin appreciate the chance to show veterans how much they mean to the community.
“Show them respect,” she said. “That’s the key to life.”

How to safely shovel snow
The Mayo Clinic has some tips for safely shoveling snow.
Saturday is the winter solstice, and parts of Delaware have already had a small, but still measurable, amount of snowfall.
For the first time since Feb. 17, 2024, measurable snowfall was reported in Delaware to the National Weather Service. Community reports of 0.1 inches of snow outside of Newark and in Smyrna are on the board after a storm brought rain and snow to the First State. That is the smallest amount of snowfall that can be recorded.
Wilmington last received measurable snowfall on that February date, but received only a trace Friday night. Parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey saw more than 5 inches from the same system.
Winter starts with cold snap
The storm ushered in dangerously cold air that will grip the Northeast for the weekend.
The temperatures are not so extreme that advisories will be issued, but it is not a good idea to stay outside for very long, said National Weather Service meteorologist Amanda Lee in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
On the night of Dec. 21, temperatures will dip, according to the weather service:
- 17 degrees in Wilmington
- 16 degrees in Dover
- 17 degrees in Georgetown
The overnight of Dec. 22 will be chillier, with temperatures dipping past the teens and wind chills in the single digits. It could plunge to:
- 10 degrees in Wilmington
- 10 degrees in Dover
- 9 degrees in Georgetown
