Honoring fallen heroes in White Plains despite the rain

White Plains took time today to honor the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. military

Despite the rain, a parade proudly stepped off at Church and Main and made its way to the Rural Cemetery on North Broadway.

The parade culminated in a memorial service at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. For the grand marshal of the parade, White Plains native Jonathon Manzueta, who led today’s events, said it was a deeply gratifying experience.

"This feels good. It’s helping the people I grew up with, helping the city, the community, and that’s what this job is about—building a relationship with the community and trying to make this a safer and happier place," said Jonathon Manzueta, Parade Grand Marshal.
