Viewfinder: Memorial Day Parade Celebrates Our Armed Forces

Parade route spectators show appreciation for the day and our troops.

Wheaton again showed its appreciation for our armed forces on this Memorial Day.

In spite of sweltering heat, group after group joined the parade, marching down streets lined with local residents cheering them on. 

The Wheaton Police and Fire Department led the parade, followed by veterans, girl scouts and boy scouts, and marching bands from Wheaton schools.
