The parade was not to be today. But, regardless, so many people came out in uncomfortable weather to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

MESSAGE FROM MAYOR SMITH: Parade has been cancelled for tomorrow, but 9:45 AM wreath laying ceremony will be held in front of City Hall rain or shine.

🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, we stand alongside our community to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. They were sons, daughters, parents, neighbors, and heroes who answered the call. 🗽

Whether you're attending a ceremony, visiting a grave, laying a wreath, marching in a parade or simply taking a quiet moment of gratitude this holiday weekend — we hope you'll join us in remembering that the freedoms we enjoy came at a profound cost.

To every Milford family who has lost a loved one in service to this nation: we see you, we honor you, and we are forever grateful. Freedom is never free. 🕊️

Happy Memorial Day — and God bless all who served. 🙏
