A day to remember

Every generation was represented at Memorial Day observance throughout the area. Photographers were on hand in South Salemk and Katonah. Here's a sampling of what they saw:

Robert J. Cummings photos document the rainy fun runs in South Salem as well as the town's parade and ceremony.

Adults led the way at the start of the 10K.

Sebastian Mendez (#186) of Mount Kisco won the men's race. About halfway through the course he was behind his younger brother, Hunter. Hunter eventually finished fifth.

Elizabeth Strattner of Katonah and Ella Blum of South Salem enjoyed a downhill portion of the course.

Kids had their own one-mile race to run...

...and "pee wee" racers in divisions from one- to six-years-old got in on the fun.

When the rain let up, a granddad and granddaughter shared a patriotic moment.

Veterans rode in style at the South Salem Parade, followed closely by Boy Scouts and Lewisboro Senior Adults.

Volunteer firefighters were on hand from Vista...

...and from South Salem.

Whole families came to cheer them on.

In South Salem, everyone pledged allegiance to the flag before the speeches from elected officials and veterans began.

Gregory Kaplowitz also stopped by South Salem's events, but he went farther afield to see what was going on in Katonah.

Veterans marched to the firehouse for the presentation of the colors in Katonah...

... and veterans and firefighters joined in a salute.

A trumpeter blew mournful notes to mark the occasion.

A World War II veteran got a hug for his service.
