Reforming the judicial system: Why we need a young adults court in York County

Recognizing Memorial Day
It is just a fact that we may associate the words Memorial Day with the beginning of summer, a day off work, family picnics, the pool, the beach, parades, cemetery flags, blooming flowers, deviled eggs, and potato salad. There is certainly no harm in those positive associations. If you are from Adams County the Gettysburg Memorial Day Parade, which is one of the oldest such parade/programs in the nation, is etched into your brain. This is especially true if you were a grade schooler at Meade School about 60 years ago, required to march in the parade from Meade School to the National Cemetery, and strew flowers in the National Cemetery as a marked day of school attendance. That evening my family would drive through the National Cemetery to see all the colorful flowers and then head out to the Twin Kiss on Emmittsburg Road, located just before the Peach Orchard, for a twist cone and frosted mug of root beer. Those are great memories!
