Levittown American Legion Post 1711 once again hosted the annual Memorial Day parade this year in Levittown, featuring dozens of participants who stepped off from Island Trees Middle School and headed down Hempstead Turnpike to Veterans Memorial Park outside the Levittown Library. Levittown's parade, one of the largest on Long Island, was again chaired by American Legion PPC Henry To.

Parade participants included school bands, local dignitaries, veterans organizations, emergency personnel, community groups, Scouting groups and sports teams. Local dignitaries gathered at the reviewing stand outside Veterans Memorial Park to cheer on parade marchers as they passed. Among those on hand were elected officials, school representatives, veterans and community residents.

After the parade attendees were invited back to both American Legion Post 1711 and VFW Post 9592 for refreshments and a roll call of members lost to each respective post.

The American Legion would like to thank American Legion Past Post Commander Henry To, event chairperson, for all his hard work and dedication to this parade.
