The Lawrence County Genealogical Society will have a float in Ironton's annual Memorial Day Parade on Monday May 25. The theme this year is "Freedom Forever in the USA". We'll be in unit 3, lining up on Center Street behind the county commissioners. Our float will honor the WWII veterans who are family members of Lawrence County genealogists, both society members and the members of this list. We thank all of you who submitted names. We have 80 names, so there will be 40 on each side of the float. If you plan to come to the parade I suggest that you come early, bring your hat and sunscreen, and a folding chair. It takes us approx 1 hour to travel from the official starting point at the corner of the courthouse square, to the end when we get to Park Ave. and 6th St. We'll be decorating Sunday afternoon at the AEP storage yard on 3rd St. Don Clark **************Recession-proof vacation ideas.

Don I submitted my father's name and will his name be on the float? Will there be pictures available online or otherwise to purchase for the family members who are unable to attend the parade. Or am I thinking of the wrong thing? Thanks for any info.
