The theme of this year's Memorial Day Parade was "Manhasset Commemorates the American Century: 1900-1999." The parade, sponsored by the Manhasset American Legion Post 304, began promptly at 10 a.m. , led by the Manhasset High School Marching Band, playing a medley of George M. Cohan tunes. At the conclusion of the parade, the marchers and those in attendance, gathered, as is the tradition, at Memorial Field, where Post Commander Francis Padar, acknowledged the parade chairman, Vice Commander Richard Miller, and Legionnaire Virgilio Reyes, survivor of the Bataan death march in World War II. The national anthem was sung by Legionnaire Robert E. McGuire, accompanied by the Manhasset High School Band, under the direction of Randy Knudsen. FULL STORY
