    Greetings from the Bay Ridge Memorial Day Parade

    The oldest Memorial Day Parade in the nation, I'll have a full video when I get home, a perfect day for the parade right here in cannonball park.

    Okay, here's the full video

    These did not pass in selfishness;
    they died for all mankind;
    They died to build a better world
    for all who stay behind;
    And we who hold their memory dear,
    and bring them flowers today,
    Should consecrate ourselves once more
    to live and die as they.
    They were defenders of the faith
    and guardians of the truth;
    That you and I might live and love,
    they gladly gave their youth;
    And we who set this day apart
    to honor them who sleep
    Should pledge ourselves to hold the faith
    they gave their lives to keep.
    If tears are all we shed for them,
    then they have died in vain;
    If flowers are all we bring them,
    forgotten they remain;
    If by their courage we ourselves
    to courage are not led,
    Then needlessly these graves have closed
    above our heroes dead.
    To symbolize our love with flowers
    is not enough to do;
    We must be brave as they were brave,
    and true as they were true.
    They died to build a better world,
    and we who mourn today
    Should consecrate ourselves once more
    to live and die as they
