Good morning, North Fork neighbors and friends! It was a beautiful Memorial Day weekend here on the North Fork as we gathered to honor the heroes that sacrificed everything to ensure our freedoms. Look for a huge gallery of photos from the parade in Greenport yesterday; I was proud and honored to cover the annual memorial service, attended by our veterans, elected officials, firefighters, first responders, community members, and more, all of whom paid solemn respect.

If you have photos you'd like me to include in the galleries I'm compiling, please send them to Lisa.Finn@patch.com.

Until tomorrow. . . .

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 84 Low: 56.
