I was born in Parsons in 1927. I still remember the Memorial Day parades that we went to as youngsters in W-B. We then had a chance to see some Civil War Vets, Vets from the Spanish American War and of course WWI. World War I was important because of my uncle (Lawrence Fehlinger) who died in France with the 109th. The big moment was when the boat loaded with flowers was floated down the river and as it passed the bridge was exploded. You other "old timers" may still call this Decoration Day" Hopefully you are all displaying your flags.

Bill: Yes, I too remember "Decoration Day" in the Valley. I was born in 1926 in Forty Fort, and also remember the Civil War veterans. Thanks for the post, and best to you.

Hi Folks, I have for sometime now working on finding unknown soldiers of the Civil War. I have found many, and now I am workinbg on a project of entering alot of these soldiers in findagrave.com. Many of them are PA men who found in the Civil War, WW I, and WW II. Please go into the site and leave a flower. And if any of you have any information on these soldiers, such as family members, or if you know any,please feel free to add pitures. Thank You.
