Memorial Day Parade 2018

Do you know a veteran, male or female, especially one who served in Korea or WWII? If you do, the Orange Memorial Day Parade Committee wants to know about them.

Every year, the committee chooses veterans to honor during the Memorial Day ceremony on the Orange Fairgrounds before the parade. These veterans serve as Grand Marshal, Chief of Staff, and Honored Veteran in the Memorial Day Parade.

Committee Chairman Kevin Gilbert is looking for veterans who are Orange residents who were honorably discharged- particularly women, who often are overlooked.

If you have someone in mind, or if you are a veteran who would like to be considered, please call Kevin Gilbert at 203.795.4647 or e-mail kpg25629@gmail.com or contact Karen Goldberg at 203.891.4738 or kgoldberg@orange-ct.gov.
