Most importantly, though, it was a day to remember. In Plymouth and Canton, locals took the time to remem• ber fallen heroes, military men and women who gave the ulti• mate sacrifice in service to their country. In Plymouth, the annual Memorial Day parade, rescued by the fund-raising efforts of the Plymouth Lions Club, made its way down Main Street, led as always by the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 528. The parade ended at Plymouth's Veterans Memorial Park, where Lt. Col Ted Wells, a Marine Corps reservist who does his service at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, reminded PHOTOS BY BILL 3SESLER I STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER spectators of the military men and women who "stepped to the The Plymouth Canton Marching Band made its annual appearance in the Memorial Day parade. plate" to make a difference. "Everyone who wanted to help out knew the dangers," Wells said. "They understood that one day we might be stand• ing here in honor of them." In Canton, John Spencer of the Canton Veterans Memorial Association read the names of Canton's servicemen and women lost in the Civil War, World War II, Vietnam and Iraq. He said there was a good turnout. "We had about 90 people out this year, which was better than last year when I would say about 60 showed up," Spencer said. Jan Blumberg, mother of Trevor Blumberg, who was killed in 2003 in Iraq, laid the wreath at the Canton Veterans Memorial honoring all the com• munity's lost servicemen.
